Sorry 'bout the typos. Should have proofed it.

Also, hope everyone noticed that weight has a slot in the equation. A modification that increases power AND weight at the same time has a multiplier effect, ie, an aluminum drive shaft might increase power to the rear wheels and shave weight at the same time. Modifications like aluminum heads (I know, only for older cars, but still, the idea is that this formula works for all cars) would be a double hit, too.

Just a reminder - if you use the formula to analyze a future mod, check to see if the mod will save (or add) weight. In fact, I noticed in his nitrous example that he didn't add the 20 pounds or so that the system would weigh.
