Im just saying he isnt taking it into accout, or the rest of the aeroydynamcs of the vehicle, or the fact that the shape of the torque curve and not just the peak figure all have an effect.

Basically there are a LOT of factors involved, so drawing conclusions about the gearbox whilst ignoring them all seems a stupid idea to me.

BUT i do agree with his fundamental point that it cant be *MUCH WORSE*, it may be a little worse, or a little better, but its not going to suddenly sap all your power if you convert to one.
