O RLY? what does then? wind? gavitational pull? a caveman inside the rim?

Now I understand why you drive a V6...O RLY? what does then? wind? gavitational pull? a caveman inside the rim?
the viper may make 1600, but no where near the torque. Torque, something you're not familiar with, is a derivative of horsepower. This is what turns the tires.
A race ready Cobra with a higher output supercharger with nitrous will make around 800hp/900tq
The reason why the hp on the Viper is so much higher than the tq numbers is because of the "stroke" of the engine. (to put it simple) You will probably see anywhere from 200-250hp difference between torque and horsepower with a 1600hp Viper.
I know what I'm talking about... and if you remember correctly, I advised you to get your junk tuned... and what did you do? Blew your motor? yep do you know who I am yet?

do I know you? no i dont. my motor blew up due to a poor tune by my last tuner. I dont go to him anymore. I'm switching to MPH. I also have a built motor now, not that shitty cast piston shit.

hummm MPH... so I guess two guys in this post will be do-dadding on your car!
now im really confused. lol.hummm MPH... so I guess two guys in this post will be do-dadding on your car!

Yeah, I figured you would be... foot in mouthnow im really confused. lol.I'm sure it's all good though
hmm... I thought hp (as far as ICE's are concerned) was a derivative of torque and speed?
which is why a faster spinning motor can make the same hp as a higher torque, slower spinning motor.
which is why I always laugh at newb supra owners that think they can just slap a big turbo on thier 2jz and make it fast. Hmm, lag till 4500 rpm, then redline at 6200
I love power under the curve
You're absolutly right. I could get more indepth, but I don't see the point on these forums. And 5252 is RPM. It's just what the measurment is taking from. You also have to factor in net weight, rotating mass (centripical force), and also a dyno correction factor (humidity, pressure and temp. after the dyno measurement). it all boils down to one main thing, friction... less friction more power. That's why top fuel dragsters have higher cubic inches rather than a smaller cubed motor that revs twice as high, the smaller engine to make the power of the larger engine will have to work harder because it will produce more friction to make the same power. This making the smaller cubed engine less efficent than the larger. That's why the saying will stick to the end... "There is no replacment, for displacement".hmm...

There are soooo many factors though... way too many for one man to list....
