For my ME 415 (mechanical systems design) class, we each had to do an "optimization" project. So I used my dynochart/program to optimize shift points from acceleration between gears. I finally go the math done tonight. My presentation is Thursday and I should have it done tomorrow so I will post it then. I have a couple neat graphs to show.
But from the math:
1st hold as long as possible
2nd ~6100 rpm
3rd ~6200 rpm
The autorotor sure likes to rev high, I will probably just shift at 6 for all gears at the track.
If dynojet would have coperated more (the company releasing specific drum information), then I could have estimated 1/4 mi times, 0-60 etc. That would have been awesome, but difficult to do accuratly without some wind drag numbers. This is cool enough though.
here is a teaser pic, the second graph is what is important, you can see directly when the acceleration from the next gear is greater than the prior one. This was done using Matlab
I think this stuff is cool, but I am nerdy too
