Well said Quickurt,

The liner torque curve is what makes the power of the engine so fun to drive. It will pull 240 ft lbs as low as 2500rpm up to 260 ft lbs @4,800 and drop off to only 255 ft lbs @ 6,200. Think about it, a 3,700 rpm range with only 20 ft lbs change. I know where the fun zone is and that's were I'm gong to stay.

Agreed shifting at peak torque will result in faster times assuming the next gear is still in the sweet spot of the torque curve.

Guess I'll start shifting at 6500 instead of 7000, hope my car doesn't blow up.....
