Message	are in, so you want to shift from one shaft torque point to another (shaft torque equals engine torque times the gear ratio in the trans), keeping them as close as possible so as not to lose momentum. Because we have transmissions that vary the amount of RPM that drops from gear to gear (as apposed to a close ratio racing trans), each gear has a different optimal shift point. Hope that makes some sense...I just made it up, Mark
