Reason #1 why a hand held programmer that lets you change shift points would be good. I'd like to have my truck shift at 5k rpm's also to see how it affects ET's.

Your overspun Eaton will thank you too.

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.

I was going to say, some good old calculus theory would work here

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.
...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.

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

Integrating the curves wouldn't give a better result because the actuals were only taken at specific increments. In other words, there isn't any data between the points other than an approximation which can be interpolated (draw a line and calc the height based on the distance). Thus, summing the average areas between measured points would yield the same result.
