Default gear calculator?

i was trying to figure out how you determine when shifting to the next gear how much the rpms will drop in between shifts. im trying to pick the best tranny for my application so the revs dont drop to much, but at the same time not for the gears to be short.

gt4294
full boost @7000rpm
redline 9500rpm
25.1''tire

current tranny is a ls and it falls out of full boost on the 3-4shift pretty bad.

The rpm drops are shown in the calculator as "Shift Points".

If you want to know the rpm at different speeds, move your mouse over the graph.
