[quote][i]Originally posted by Andy[/i] You should change gear at peak power rpm (or slightly over), not at peak torque. Although you may have more engine torque slightly lower down the rev range, don't forget that gearing at high revs can convert a slightly lower engine torque figure into more torque at the wheels. This is most effective at around peak bhp rpm. The same is true of reaching top speed (assuming your rev limiter is set high enough so it won't cut in in top gear) You really need to look at a power/torque curve to decide the best place to change gear for max acceleration [/quote]
