I know some guys that rev'd their DE oil pump over 9000 on the dyno, and it even made it down the 1/4 twice before it exploded!
Even if the engine power falls off, that doesnt mean the car isnt accelerating better than it would in the next gear up. For this is the purpose of a transmission! You have to work all the torque multiplication math to decide the best shift point after seeing dyno graph.
