Overnight Sensation
All you sled heads jinxed me ya **** heads. You posted all this snow crap and it snowed here last night. Un believable. I'm so done with snow I may move to Tijeras. Screw it.
And that is your opinion.This just isn't true.
Horsepower sell cars , torque wins races.
then your "high stall" IS coming out of the hole at 4500 rpm'sWe shouldn't be talking about high stall converter, I'm expecting a 4 Speed shootout
Torque doesn't do anything in its self.
We all talk about low end torque and torque to the ground but really your always talking about hp is just easier to visualize what's going on under peak hp through torque since it relatively flat.
A 500 hp 340 and 410 will have the same torque (hp) to the ground if geared properly.
500 hp 340 @ 7000 rpm will make 375 lbs-ft @ 7000 rpm.
375 lbs-ft x 4.56 = 1635 lbs-ft to the tires or 817.5 lbs-ft per tire.
Now 410
500 hp 410 @ 5800 rpm will make 453 lbs-ft @ 5800
453 lbs-ft x 3.55 = 1608 lbs-ft or 804 lbs-ft per tire.
Close enough between the two. Now looking at that you could say it agrees torque moves the car but one last calculation is left out.
Say the tires are 24 inches for ease of mathematics. So as to have no multiplying effect.
340, 7000 rpm ÷ 4.36 = 1606 rpm
1606 x 817.5 ÷ 5252 = 250hp per tire or 500hp at crank.
And if you finish the math the 410 will come out the same.
Hp is power and power only can do work and moving and accelerating a car is work.

WHERE ??I vote we get back to the race.......
Where ever you and YR decide to meet......WHERE ??
WHERE ??
When is the big swap meet? I have to be over there the first weekend of April I think.

j par, you are being baited.

First of all I got to say let it snow let it snow let it snow LOL I love it and I wish it would never stop. Second of all/#$@&! Damnit I forgot to renew my spot at the swap meet and lost out they've been out of spots at the April swap meet for a month-and-a-half now for the first time in 3 years I don't have my spot next to the people I'm used to being by
That won't work anyways because the track is closed that weekend obviously for the swap meet so there will be no drag racing. They will be drag racing at Woodburn that weekend?
Oh I already know, I'm just having some fun. Everybody's seen the Time Slips of my car and what it can do and all we know is that yr is telling us that he's trying to get into the 13s so we'll see if that's the truth or not. If that's truly the case I'll do you like my buddy does with his Cuda and kind of lets off at the end so I don't feel like I've been blown completely out of the water. That's what a cool friend does.
I prefer to think of it as. Torque starts races. Horsepower finishes them.
Apparently I missed some big part of how this started? Who's building what? What cars are they going into? Let's see some pics people!
