You would be surprised how much time we have available to make the electronic decisions. An engine spinning at 10,000 RPM rotates once every 6ms (6 thousandths of a second). A typical gear shift will be completed in less than 10 revolutions of the engine, which allows us to execute 1.8 million instructions during that time!
Even the fastest race engines are going very very slowly in terms of computing power

I was under the assumption that calculating RPM is the most time consuming part, but when I really think about it, the frequency from the crank/cam sensor can be calculated very quickly.
Neil, I imagine your system needs to be "tuned" for different gearboxes, correct?
