Norm,
Thanks for the reply. I know what you are saying about torque curves and how this is better than averages; however, I am only saying to use an average as opposed to a peak value to determine performance.
With a torque curve you can fairly easily do a kind of computer simulation that will approximate what would happen, but I'm sure there must be some way to do this more accurately with calculus and physics. The best way to do it I think would be with work and energy as opposed to messing with F=ma.
