Stan,
You are correct. I was just enjoying learning about the intricacies of bench racing, partly because I will likely have limited track time when I go so I'd like to at least start off with a theoretical baseline good shift points.

As for the 60' times, I've experimented with different launch techniques by timing 0-60 runs with a phone app that seems accurate. I've gotten three bests of 3.6 (in a row actually). Not sure how that converts to 60' times, but when I search all other cars' 0-60 times, cars with times of 3.6 seconds are running about 11.90 ET. And the car pulls strong up top, so who knows what it'll do!
