Uh, you forgot the coeficient for static friction there skippy...which is
cubed to compensate for the downward force at take-off. Yeah...right! Just
call me mr science.
Actually if torque and horsepower are inversly related and Jon is maintaining
a constant torque band at high RPMs (relative to our Daks) and still making
HP, then he's got a good thing happenin! Now thats a helluva theory
statement! My phisics professor would be proud...hehe. You see the
difference with Jons Dyno and Shanes dyno? I think Shane loses alot more
through the slush-bucket then the five speed Jon has. I think he had about
220RWHP.
Oh well, gotta go back to hell (work).
