btw, just stumbled on this really great webpage on torque, and when to shift.
So good, I think the "Maximum Acceleration vs Torque" section of it should be made into a sticky post here or something.

Nice find. I happen to do a write up like this on a mr2 forum i'm on. All it got me was a bunch of people asking me to find their shift point. I finally ended up telling them that I did the write up so they could do the work, not me. Good info to have though.
