Re: When to shift?
Check out http://www.cyberstangs.com/autocalc/...hiftPoints.asp
Pretty sure that fastest acceleration is achieved by running from torque peak to horsepower peak, and I think most cars' gear ratios are designed to reflect that fact. My car has the gear ratios spaced such that upshifting from the horspower peak drops the revs right onto the torque peak in the next gear.

Horsepower is 100 ewoks poking you with pointy sticks.
Torque is one wookie pulling your arms out of their sockets.
