The time counted would be from just a hair before the 1.2s mark where acceleration starts to dip until 1.6s where acceleration has returned to the expected value for the next gear. So I would measure that at about 0.42s

You guys pick an over/under number for that metric.

I am fine with that.... I bet the cycle you described will be 0.08 seconds or more. Swamp2 should have no qualms about betting the cycle will be 0.08 or less.

Swamp2, you in?
