Easy for me to say since it's not my car, but you will definitely be quicker if you shift it at 8599 rpm instead of 8400. In fact, shifting at close to 9000 rpm would be best - even with a dead stock power curve.

Of course, it might blow up, but that's a small price to pay for another tenth or two, isn't it?
