I just sent you the Excel file.
As far as the shifting goes, I agree completely that you need to do things differently when you're actually working the engine. All my previous comments assumed unloaded (which most of my miles are). When you're getting low enough with the rpms that you're getting close to the torque then you gotta shift up. When unloaded it's hard to lug the engine even if you're trying (400+ lb-ft of clutch engagement torque). Loaded is a different story.
