Some cars may make a lot of peak power, but it doesn't makemuch power until you get into fairly high RPM. Worked-over Honda Civics and DOHC cars with big cams tend to fit this profile (but not always). Other cars begin to make a decent amount of power sooner, at lower RPM. This is good for racing because you don't have to wait for the power to kick in, it's there as soon as you hit the gas, right off of idle. Large pushrod motors with small cams and forced induction cars usually fall into this category. On the dyno sheet, the first category of cars will make a very steep power line; the second category will have a much flatter curve.

i agree. if i could put all my power to the ground i would run 10's. if you cannot put it to the ground then you lose.

 

That reminds me. I need to get some LCA'swhen I get paid next weekend. lol. Even these damn 275's can't catch traction. I don't want to be embarassed running 2.4, or higher 60' times and not even breaking into the 13's whenever I make it up to Cordova.

 

OP, it's kind of like why can't OHCpeople understand that pushrods are the shizzle.[8D]

 

If you running a regular street tire LCA's won't help you much, it's after you get a decent dr that the LCA's come into play.^^

 

I understand what your saying, but the 280whp car probably will lose against the 500whp. Thats a little bit too big of an exaggeration, nice charger bash too.

 

Well JD,my 15" drag rims and my mickey thompson ET streetshaven't gotten here yet.[&:]
I got these bad boys in 275/60/15

 

I plan on getting some Nittos in the coming months sometime too.

 

Ok that's it. What the hell is LCA an acronym for?
