Default Nitrous; To Shift Or Not To Shift

I have a 55 shot ZEX system and I noticed that the car feels faster when I start from a higher gear. For example with no nitrous at 70mph I would start in 3rd, with the nitrous if I start in 4th and stay in 1 gear for longer instead of shifting the car seems to accelerate a lot faster. I think that since I'm not losing nitrous pressure by shifting the car accelerates a lot faster. Although from a dead start this is obviously not an option. Does anyone agree that this is possible or am I way off?

That seems to make sense logically.
