    good information here. Your missing one thing that I think is important (Especially now that I've moved into what is apparently Donk country); The effects of rotational inertia on your vehicle. There is a direct relationship between wheel size, tire size, and even rotor size on your vehicle's effective torque and by assessing, evaluating, and properly selecting a wheel/tire package does much more than simply increasing your acceleration, but also braking and cornering due to less unsprung weight.

    I have a fairly in-depth and very technical spread sheet which allows you to punch in wheel size, wheel weight, tire size, and tire weight and then spits out the moment of inertia of it. I'll have to dig it up and upload it for people on here to use.
