Put your car on a dyno to get a good map of where you make hp. Some cars will make power all the way to redline but most will start to lose power long before that.

If you're just normal driving, shift around 3k -4k but if you're racing I'd shift at about 7700-7800 (you need to shift a little past redline to be able to get ready for the next gear so it's not too low and way out of the power band) but if you have some internal mods or if you're bored, you may be able to shift higher
just make sure you're ecu is designed not to cut fuel though if you got these mods...
The 1999-2000 Honda Civic SI used the B16A2 engine.
Generation: 6G-EM
Displacement CC's: 1595
Compression: 10.2:1
160 HP @ 7600RPM
111lb/FT@ 7000RPM
0-60MPH = 7.2 Seconds 1/4 Mile = 15.7 Seconds

Just feel it out, listen to the engine, you will know, keep yr eye on the techometer. The best time to shift is whenever your engine is screaming, but remember the downshift is as important as shifting up, it has to be clean, you don't want any rpm to be lost, and be sure to let up on the gas when you shift. Good Luck and remember just to feel it.

Between 6000 to 7500 rpm. this is to maximize the torque and minimize the engine brake when shifting. It will be much better if you have a LSD on the machine though.

7000 rpm is a great point to shift! you dont want to shift after your HP are starting to flatline. Peak = great point to shift!

find out when the engine stops making HP and shift just before that. should be around 7,000 or so.

just on the red line, and don't go more than that.
