    That's very helpful, but I have a question: at one point should one
change gear for maximum acceleration through the gears?  At the first
peak in the curve?  At the second?  When the engine bounces off the rev
limiter?  ;-)

    For the lower gears it appears that there is greater acceleration
available at all points in the rev range than the next higher gear.

    Thanks,

                Jim
