The boys over at Fxtreme liked it, so I figured you folks would enjoy it as well.
Falls into the "learn something new everyday" catagory.

I just ran them through Microsoft Excel and I must say it looks pretty weak.
I don't think the Tib lends itself very well to that method. It has a pretty straight torque curve. On my graphs, 1st gear never even comes close to intersecting 2nd.
