Tundra, I thought the same thing as you on the shift points. Shift at lower RPM and stay in the better Torgue RPM (also maybe keep the rods in the block). Sal and others said ET's will suffer!

I am waiting for the Diablo Predator and a 4 pound pulley. Keep the blower redline the same as stock while upping the boost across the band.

But then I saw this:
Just sum the HP or Torque multiplied times the delta you're measuring it. Do that for each graph. The difference in each area is your answer.
Not that you guys didn't know this already, but it did get me to think of the 2 years of calc I took. Which was a good thing
Who knew you could apply all that math to going fast

But then I saw this:
...which is precisely subtracting the Integrals of both graphs. Now all you need is a way to get the real measurements off the graph. And start summing the columns on the curves. Not completely exact like an integral is, but I don't want to try and figure out the equation of that curve And you're right, the thinner the columns, the more accurate it'll be.
