Okay I jsut checked the numbers....
In a KA/SR tranny, the ratio of 2nd to 3rd gear is almost 1.45. That LITERALLY means that if you are making the same torque in both gears, you will ACCELERATE 1.45 times as hard in 2nd gear!!!! So, even if your torque drops off to say 250 ft-lbs in 2nd gear at high RPMS...you will be ACCELERATING equally as fast as when you are making 375 ft-lbs in 3rd gear. I myself, did not grasp this until I sat down and tried to understand it......unless your torque is dropping of REALLY fast, you ALWAYS (in our cars) want to rev all the way out to redline (due to the way our trannys are geared).
