Thanks,

Hoping Mr Ultimate (Lenny) will jump in. I remember he tried to 'splain it to me once, I remember him talking about when you are holding at WOT once you apply the load the motor pulls down (drops in initial power) for just an instant (so a realtively softer launch) and the motor will actually produce more initial/instantaneous torque when you hold it at part throttle and roll on the pedal (like with a rev limiter) than it would applying the load to WOT...something like that and I can sort of understand how that happens....

What my mind is trying to visualize is the differences in flow through the Turbine/stator and impellor when the tailshaft is held against the brake at the various launch RPMs.
