Re: Shark Drag T-shirt graphic
Hey Curt,
Not so fast young man! Actually alot can happen between now and then, so

Re: Shark Drag T-shirt graphic
Hey, Adam & all.
Sadly, it looks like I'm going to have to bail out of the Shark Drag, with
closing on a condo, moving, and having Mom out to visit for a week all
threatening to happen right around

Torque vs. Hp
Good call whoever it was who found this,always,always
trust the Mopar guys because they live drag racing!
A very wise man once said:
"Horsepower is the quotient of torque versus RPM"
See he didn't

Re: Drag Starts
Hey Phil,
Like Louie said, you have it exactly right, except you can ignore the
final drive ratio since we are comparing the gears (final drive is a
constant)...
I did a little web research and

Re: Drag Starts
Hi Tom,
I did poke around with numbers last night. My conclusion is that to get
maximum acceleration from my '87 S4 5-speed, I should upshift at redline.
This won't be true of all vehicles, rather

Phil,
You have figured it exactly right. Don't let anyone convince you otherwise.
For most cars, best acceleration means shifting quite a bit

Re: Coil discussions
Hi Ralph,
Sounds very interesting, I haven't looked into "other" coils yet but
if this set up is indeed more efficient and cheaper, it may be worth
considering. I don't think it would affect our

Shark Drag T-shirt graphic
Hello all,
In a unilateral executive decision, I'm going to be presenting a second
graphic for the back of the shark drag shirt. I wasn't quite happy with my

Re: Drag Starts
Hey Phil,
The torque curves are in the owners manual. I can't recall if the ratios are
there, but I know they are in the repair manuals. If you would like, I
could scan them and shoot them over to

Hi Phil,
I would like to see the numbers if you do crunch them... Need to see where my
auto shifts too, and the corresponding drops in RPM. Time to go out for a

Re: Drag Starts
Hi Tom,
Ed R. seems like a nice guy, but his posts perpetuate a rather common
misconception, namely that acceleration is maximized by shifting to keep the
engine close to its torque peak. In fact,
