Message	posted in that. I have my own source for calculating shift points taking into account horsepower, torque, RPM every by every 100 and gear ratios. It calculates the loss of torque that the driveshaft actually sees at each rpm incriment, and determines the shift points by where the least amount of torque is lost at each gear change. It seems to work fairly well.
