this seems a bit harsh.
the loss of power is only from 3700-4300 if you look at the chart. when drag racing you fly through this section of the rpms in about .2sec. the entire rest of the run is above 4800rpm. if I had control of the trans I would shift closer to 6500rpm which would mean the lowest rpm other than 1st gear would be above 5000rpm.
I am not saying it is a good bang for the buck and everyone should buy one but I am trying to put that tq loss into perspective. it is brief and you spend very little time at that rpm.
