What RPM do you guys shift at for smooth shifting?

I just got my AP2 and I can't seem to shift 2nd and 3rd as smooth as I'd like, I have no trouble with 4th, 5th and 6th. So what RPM's are ideal for smooth shifting when driving normally?

Definitely feel for a smooth transition between gears 4k-5k is optimal. Although, shifting at 3k makes it feel exactly like my civic.

I've found that around 4 seems to be the smoothest for "regular" driving, at least for me anyway.
