Understandable.

If possible a 4th AT and 5th MT will give the best comparison as both correspond to 1:1 on their respective transmissions. Granted you'd be moving pretty quick if you wound all the way to 7k. Though I think it is safe to say we all know the Phantom can't compete that high. Maybe a pull starting at 2.5k RPM or so (which would keep the speed pretty low) until the other car passes. From there we already know the rest of the story.

I don't think most of us are too critical on the performance comparison in a drag, but a rolling pull at equal gearing would demonstrate the practical difference in power down low, which I think is what we're really interested in. If a similar setup video could be made against a Rotex car, and a stock car as well at a later time, that would be amazing.

Regardless thanks for taking the time to make the vid!
