Because it throws you back harder doesn't necessarily mean you're going faster in a 1/4 mile. Sometimes shifting at a lower RPM than SCREAMING gets you better times. All depends on where the power is.

Thats called the placebo effect. Get a Gtech pro. and yes, supras make all their power before 5500 rpms, so taking it higher than the auto shifts at isnt making you any faster. Unlike my mr2, which has its peak power at 6400 and redlines at 6800, because it is a 1.8L.
