I've got a MS excel spreadsheet that does the same thing, except graphically. After you enter your data, you just look at a graph, and shift were the lines for the lower gear goes below that of a higher gear.

For my data that never happened, so I shift at redline.

Anyone who wants it let me know, and I'll email it to you. I'd host it on the web, but can't upload non-images to my forum homepage.

I have "Dragstrip 2000" software, a few people I know use it to calculate their best shift points.
