I'm not sure that this should have turned into a horsepower vs torque arguement. An conversation of energy vs force is really pretty academic. Interesting, but ultimately you get the same answer either way you approach it. The calculation is just slightly different.

What I reallly wanted to show was a way to calculate the best shift points for acceleration. The spreadsheet that I've provided will do that and it's kinda fun to play with. I'm hoping that's what everyone takes away from it.
