Just control the RPM's with your right foot. Don't let off all the way all at once.
My 2005 387 Pete is geared with 400 rpms between the gears, 200 on the split. When running up through the gears I can ease off the accelerator, lose 400 rpm and drop it into gear before the jakes kick on.
My 500hp C15 CAT's power is best between 1300 and 1700 rpm going up and slows down best between 1000 and 1400 coming down through the gears.
Coming back down through the gears let the jakes lose the rpm's for you and them run the rpm's back up to get it into the next lower gear. I rarely use the brakes till the last 100 feet before a stop.
If you lose too many rpm's because of jakes just run the rpm's back up to get it in gear.
I hate loud motors period. I keep good mufflers and have jake brake exhausts so I can use them in town.
