Getting things exactly right may see you getting the better of a bigger, more powerful car off the line, and even if you get just a few cars ahead, you can appear to be kicking ass because catching up is that much harder to do. Following the video, if you work out exactly when to shift gears you’ll be keeping your wheel torque as high as possible, which on many cars is at redline, but to get it as exact as possible, you’d need a dyno run so you have the actual torque figures. One thing to consider is that with some cars the power drops off before the redline, but according to this math it doesn’t really matter. You can always just skip the math and fit nitrous or boost and you’re guaranteed to have faster acceleration.
