Engine A, makes 500hp @ 6000 and drops 50hp by 7000, w/380tq @ 3800.
Engine B, makes 500hp @ 5200 and drops 80hp by 5900, w/450tq @ 3200.
If geared, convertered and shifted correctly, with traction NOT a factor, in the same style and weight car........who wins???
those #'s can be flip flopped. Engine A might not make any power until 5400, while engine B has been pulling since 2800???
That's what gears and converters are for.....
At "5400" to 7000, it would still have 1600 USEABLE rpm.....THAT is what wins drag races in N/A cars of same weight and HP peaks.
PERIOD....
So few have dominated drag racing with same weight cars with off idle TQ.
not spillting hairs but say you have a power and torque band of 3000-6000 and your set up, why would a power band of 5400-7k be any better? considering your torque is going to be less. I've seen many more low shifting BB in the 9's than high reving SB's stroked or not.
