This is very interesting.
Since an upshift will keep you on the cam, though, do you think that there's a possibility that being in fourth with room to accelerate might be a better choice than being at the top of third w/no room to move w/out shifting?
I guess you can tell that's prompting the witness.
The feeling I get is that I'm better off at the bottom of fourth because there's room to get faster w/out unsettling the car.
In my case, I really think that having the JDM final drive helps me out at VIR North and Summit Point Main, the two tracks I frequent.
Interesting idea, though. Maybe you should drive my car sometime.
