Time to argue?! When to shift

[Wren57]

Yeah yeah I know I have an auto but have gotten dang good at a friend's 5spd manual civic... I have found that when you shift right before you bounce of the rev limiter, it keeps your RPMs up, which is where most Hondas/Acuras make their useable power. I have the perfect solution to let you know exactly where to shift, but the exact equation uses calculus, so I will make a quick explanation... if you have your dyno graph, and know how many RPM a high RPM shift causes you to lose, plot it on the graph with a line representing your RPM loss under the peak HP point... let me make a graph real quick and post it...
