I'm not a smart man.
But you know who I'm going to listen to in a discussion like this?
Guys with real hands on knowledge of making a car go down a track fast.
Guys like Monte, and Thumper. Because they have tried "theories" "formulas" "calculations",
And what ever else a book says will work.
And what usually happens? They don't work. What works on paper, or even a dyno, might not happen going down the track.
