The cams were optimized in both set ups.
These overall numbers are extremely good for a built automatic.
For those thinking you need more power anywhere in the power band on a street car that is only rear wheel drive, I can tell you this car produces UN-drive-able power.
If your part of the insane group, you can make more overall power with E85, and even more with higher compression and E85.This car's automatic has an internal pump making 400 PSI line pressure to allow the trans to live at this power level. Automatics rob between 5 to 10% more power than sticks to run the pump. (Kind of like running your A/C pump)
Sticks have a drive train loss of about 15%, Auto's have a drive train loss of between 20 and 25% depending on the pressure the pump is running. This is a 3 liter engine, in order to pump air with a small engine, it requires some RPM.
This set up is making 500 torque at the tires at 4300 RPM going through the power eating automatic. This is very good torque for a 3 liter engine that is making 800 RWHP especially through a automatic trans. A glance at the numbers..... 4300 RPM = 500 Wheel torque (At least 600 engine torque)
4500 RPM = 600 Wheel torque (At least 720 engine torque)
4750 RPM = 700 Wheel torque (At least 840 engine torque) This car is also making making over 700 Rear Wheel HP for more than 2000 RPM and could rev higher to hold over 700 for 3000 RPM.
First gear even in a stick would be hard pressed to hold any traction on the street, After your rolling, keeping the engine over 5000 RPM, that is over 700 torque and HP at the wheels would not be a problem, traction will be a problem.
Because this is a automatic with a 4000 RPM stall, any time you hit the throttle hard, your over 4000 RPM and climbing with more power than you can use on the street at full power.
You really do not want to run 100% because it it makes a lot of heat and is harder on parts, running this car on the street at pump fuel level, the set up will not be breaking a sweat, it will live a very long life. Bolt on some slicks for some 1/4 mile blasts, the quick runs at full power will also live a long life.
