So you guys reasoning the diesel is a pig right?
Double quoted for double stupidity.
Neither of you seem to get it?
Charlie if you're going faster at the higher RPM, then you weren't making your peak power where you thought?
Running quick at a higher RPM is not the question here?
It's 2 different engines at the SAME HP but different RPM's.
It takes a certain amount of HP to run an ET at a given weight.
How it makes that HP is not real important.
(or by what engine manufacturer)
If Leech has 1000HP NOS engine and I have a 1000 HP N/A engine, in the same weight/car they should run exactly the same.
If they don't the slower car needs to work on his combo to utilize that HP.
Simple as that.
Can't explain it any better.

I thought you guys were comparing 2 different engines making the same hp at different rpm peaks.. I have a question. Why would the motor spinning faster not effect the shift from hitting the tire harder. Its like if I punch the wall from 3"s away and then punch it from 12"s away . The momentum helps the impact. I would think the rotating assembly spinning faster would have that same effect.. If I got the question wrong, Then I apologize.. I also think if you are shifting higher then it will drop the same amount because the fact of, more rpm more tire speed .
I dynoed my motor in the car. I do know exactly where it made peak hp..
As for the comparison of the NOS car and the NA car. I would think the 2 would have different characteristics. Which may change where it would perform the best down the track.. As for which on is better got me , Just sayin....
