I'm surprised the manufacturer, particularly a high-end one like Packard, hasn't run those tests and used the data and results to inform drivers via the owner's manual.

On one hand, the Packard owner's manual is ridiculously detailed (by today's standard) in discussing things like "piston rod seal renewal" and "pinion shaft bearing preload adjustment" but fails to mention what one would expect is basic information an owner/driver would want to know such as what the ideal shift points are and top speed so as not to bend/flex parts and inflict engine damage?
