Lower end for short distances.

concntrate not on horsepower but on Torque.....get the torque up....and now that I think about it Top end. When will you ever be below 3000 RPM in a race!?!

It's all in the launch. Get an LSD, sticky tires and practice. Then after that you want beefy midrange and topend power.
