13.6?? You sure, Rocam sir? That's WAY optimistic for a 250 BHP FWD TT...

Mid 14's is sound more realistic...

Just a pointer, though; I've noticed that not all cars react the same to the torque graph. Technically, the Swift puts out 113 NM at 4500 RPM, but I found max thrust to peak at 5800-6000 for optimal upshifts; although the peak power of 87 horses is claimed at 6000, & redline at 6600. Same in case of the Corolla; I have noticed that even though the peak torque of 158 NM kicks in at 4200, max thrust kicks uptil 6K...even though the redline's at 6.5K, and max power peaks at 6K...

Perhaps the Japs are more revv-happy & prefer shifts up the rev-range, whereas Germans & Euros prefer to ride the torque band?

@adman; with the mods that you've listed, you could shave off half to a second tops; if lucky...
