Default Staging RPM's

I want to try a few things before next year with the race car. I'm looking into changing my staging RPM to see if it helps my car in the 60' or ET. I currently stage on the transbrake with a 4500 chip and the data logger shows the convertor flashes to 6200. I shift at 7800 rpm and it goes through the traps around 7700. 60 ft times are usually around 1.23 -1.24. The car has run a best of 8.76 at 153 mph. Any thoughts on raising or lowering the staging RPM? I've also thought about going from a 4.30 gear to a 4.11 and see if it picks up anywhere. The tires are 10.5W X 33" bias slicks
