Im not familiear with the program BUT, it should be showing that you are reaching a higher MPH earlier on the track when adjusted for the higher rom engine, there is your faster car right ther, average mph across the track is higher, quicket et.
There is more than just friction here with the higher rpm. The way the convertor works, the way the lower rear gear works and the way the engine recovers on shift are all factors that allow slightly faster acelleration up to peak mph.
