But i know i have more power and that if i would be allowed to raise it up to say %80 then it wouldn't lose any speed.

I don't think this has anything to do with WOT shift points. It has to do with 4-3 downshift, 3-2 downshift, etc. And, these are options on the Gryphon.

Like you, I'd rather be driving a stick shift. In a gasser, a little bit of "lugging" never seemed to hurt anything and I'd rather be there than downshift to a suddenly "too high" rev point - Unless I was passing, then, I want all the power I can get.

Maybe Bill can jump in here. We've talked about this before, but you've expressed the problem better than I did, I think.
