What is the science behind shortshifting to 2nd?

Keep the engine at peak torque. Below is a dyno from my 32V PF S8. It shows peak torque at 4000 RPM, dropping slightly and then tailing off. I would shift in first at 5200rpm to keep the engine at peek torque. It really needs a bit of experimenting with to find the right shift points.
