So what sort of power curve is good for topspeed? aim for peak power at peak speed in final gear?
Not done the quick excel sheet to see what happens to torque over RPM for different trends of BHP.

I see what rod says about lots of torque as well for brunters as its so small but the norris evo was turbo only - surely its lowdown torque wasnt too high and he just held it in the high revs/hp band - so high torque at high revs is as wanted?

What this thread was to point out was its too easy for people to slate other peoples work as not being xxx claimed HP cos it doesnt reach xxxmph at brunters and that there is probably a lot more to it than just that.


dingy - no pics of my pride and joy - they dont exist as it aint finished - just playing with different ideas to the conventional as its fun I'm sure some dodgy ned will leak them at some point anyway - people are always caught with camera phones around it
