I also think if you are shifting higher then it will drop the same amount because the fact of, more rpm more tire speed .
I dynoed my motor in the car. I do know exactly where it made peak hp..
As for the comparison of the NOS car and the NA car. I would think the 2 would have different characteristics. Which may change where it would perform the best down the track.. As for which on is better got me , Just sayin....

1st dynoing in the car is one of the problems with that style setup.
It's not good for telling how it reacts going down the strip.
Plus lots of things can detract from the 'HP' number they give you.
(tire/roller slip, converter cars not using the converter right, etc)
The gear change RPM situation is a combination problem, not the HP problem?
You need to figure out where the engine likes to run with your power band.
The HP is the same whether you shift at 6800 or 7500 at each respective RPM point.
So if it likes to go faster at 7500 RPM, shift there?
