Who needs formulas when somebody's already made web pages with the
calculators?:)  I've seen half a dozen or so, and they work okay.

There's more to it than just falling back to peak torque when the clutch
is released, as you said.  In situations like ours where we *can't* fall
back to torque peak, to get optimal acceleration, you shift to make the
WTQ line as smooth as possible.  With a dyno chart and an FSM, it's
pretty easy to make the best possible acceleration run with an SE-R...

But the magazines *do* just shift at redline, so feel free to keep doing
it that way, too. :)
