Those numbers are crazy low for when to shift. Just shift when it feels natural and isn't so high that's its obnoxious and attention grabbing.

For instance, around town or commuting I like to shift around 6-7k but on twisty roads I like to shift so the engine is in the 8-11k range. At the track, the tach needle never drops below 9k on entry and it lives up around 12-14k the rest of the time.

Don't be afraid to rev it a little. Once you discover how nice and responsive and quick the 7-12k range is, you won't go back to cruising at 4k
