Default just wondering????

maybe im confused?

with the last post that JEFF put up that got locked.

you would declare a winner just by who ever put up more peak HP, right
so if max made 10 more LBS of TQ. across the graph due to larger displacement and jerry made 2 more peak HP. at 9800RPM's. YOU think that would make him a winner of a race. or say that his motor had more POTENTIAL???

or what if max made 248 at 9200 and thats his shift point.
but jerry made 250 at 10,000 rpms. would that make jerrys motor faster???

NO, because theres too many other variables involved. it would MAYBE be a little fairer if they were at least running the same series engines. MAYBE.
i think max and his lucky team have proved that dyno time is great for tunning but being the winner of a dyno contest isnt ****.

what happened with kenneth. he made like 250 and like 180 TQ and couldnt ever run faster then a 12.7. on multiple days of trying.

Yeah understand what you trying to say. The dyno results would not always depict
the winner of a race. There are many other variables that come out in street racing
traction and launch. There whole Jerry and Max situation, should probably only be
settled on the street, they should do it on an off night at a private less crowded location. I mean there has been many big street races that went down in Socal
I guess it was a bad night.
