Tom, you and your friends have a ton of real world on track experience, no doubt, you get my full respect, and I'm not saying you are wrong or right, as I mentioned I would tend to agree that in the end a Six Pack would probably edge the TQ. However, so far have not seen any valid real world proof (controlled dyno or track testing as I described) supporting it either way, including the example you used.

Chryslers ratings were often manipulated in the name of marketing or the insurance industry, and as far as the NHRA goes, I don't agree with MANY of their factors.
