It would be fun to bench race alternatives in a race-oriented thread - its just that the idea here was simply to lay out an alternative method of prioritizing modification decisions. The fact that it doesn't help a racer (who if he's half serious is far beyond deciding between spending his allowance on either a CAI or a set of gears) is not surprising. Good luck to you in your efforts - I hope next year is your greatest ever.

I think that its great that you have formulas worked out, but unfortunately there is much more to it than that. I don't use hp numbers to calculate anything which is the biggest mistake you can make. Especially manufacturer provided numbers. Weather, track conditions, track temp, wind, etc etc etc, are the only real numbers that matter. You don't race a computer or a calculater.  |
