POWER IS EVERYTHING


Torque is useless without Power to move it.

Torque is immaterial.. It can be multiplied and divided at he flick of a wrist.. (gearbox)


Power is Energy in motion and time.. Can not be created or destroyed.. You only use it while you have it..

POWER....


Is more important.

Power is more important

but MAX power isn't the most important (i you think that then you should go back to reading your tuning mag)

the power all the way through the rev range is

which has a lot to do with the torque of then engine

which means torque is important

which means were back to square one

ah no, power is more important power all the way through

Error: Malformed binary. Your binary code is must be divisible by 8.

OMG who are you?

[ISLAMATRON]

I saw that same binary code in on of bender's dreams... I think I saw a 2 in there somewhere too

[010010011010]

ha ha ok bad code so

but to be honest its not meant to mean anything

its a rhythm, of 1s and 0s

Recently witnessed something that was very eye opening. A car here in Calif. is a lower class that runs in ALMS series and the motor has been replaced by a fully electric motor. The car is faster than the gas motor it replaced.
We recently put this car on a chassis dyno, and unlike the gas motor, the torque was 100% from the instant it started to turn and continued that way through most of the rpm range.
As someone who is used to seeing numbers on HP and torque (on race engines), the first thought was something was wrong with the dyno. Threw another gas powered car on it, and no not the dyno. Pretty wild to see that.

Yet the mileage the car can travel is far shorter and the weight of the energy storage system can ruin the handling. But hey, let's ignore those annoying facts and look at the pretty peak Torque and Power figures

Yeah, electric motors pull at 100percent torque from the very start.
because the electric energy going through it is at full straight away and theres no valve timing or exhaust/intake tuning that needs to be running up to speed to work right.
but as Scotracer said, its the battery or fuel cell systems that need developing badly

OMG who are you?

What do you mean by malformed? It's equal to 1178. Why should a binary number be divisible by 8? The joke escapes me. Damn, where is my sense of humour today?

POWER POWER POWER..MORE POWER EVERYWHERE!! low down, middle up high... more power! It's doesn't matter how you want to twist it.
