Speed shop with a chassis dyno.

I know of no "published" spec sheet, and even if there was one, your car might or might not conform to it. Go get your own and know for sure what your car does.

There's a certain amount of info...

A car is usually fastest when shifted near its HP peak, and its gear ratios are such that in the new gear, it's near its torque peak. So for the typical LG4 in stock condition, it should go fastest if shifted out of 1st at 42-4400 RPM, and at about 4000 in the other gears.
