Okay that makes a lot of sense. Thanks.
Personally, I base my shift point less on the RPMs and more on speed. I find the lowest speeds I can go in each gear without lugging and shift into that gear at that speed. That way I can operate the car at almost WOT and low rpm's for more of my acceleration time than normal.
Also, BSFC charts are few and far between, but is there any way that we can determine BSFC charts for our own engine? For example, run some tests and figure out fuel consumption at certain points of throttle and rpm, then plot them and come up with a rough bfsc chart where we can roughly determine the sweet spot to shoot for. Has anyone done this before, or is there no way to do this as an individual?
