318 1/8 time improvement
THIS!!! What you really need to do is have/ generate a performance curve, IE dyno, torque or HP curve, or a "performance meter" (like G tech) where you can measure accelleration and or time so you can get a curve.
If you can do so in 1st and 2nd (high likely too fast and get you "in trouble" off the track, but if you can do that you can factor in the gearing to "figure" high gear. That is use math regarding transmission ratios to convert the curve to the next ratio
Basically, if you have a complete HP curve, you overlap the curves for each gear and SHIFT WHERE THEY CROSS OVER
See below. Does not matter where this came from or what kind of machinery it's associated with. You can see that the gain in the previous gear is overlapped by the gain coming "on" in the next upcoming gear, and that the curve drop off in the previous is less than the next gear delivers
You can also see the big change in shift points RPM. The first one is down around 6300 but the last one is clear up around 6800, about a 500RPM difference. This is due to the relative change in transmission ratios between gears
