Subject: Optimizing Shift Points - Info required
   Date: Tue, 29 Jun 1993 11:01:07 -0400



Using the formulae described in the Automath Handbook by John Lawlor I'm
trying to compute the optimal shift points for a Miata.

Does anyone known Miata torque and hp ratings through the rpm range, say
from 2000-7000 in 200-500 rpm increments. I need this data for accurate
computation.


My normal heuristic for this kind of car is to shift at very high rpm
hoping to hit the peak of the torque curve. I want to figure out what
the "truth" is as near possible before visting a dragstrip.
