Hi Folks

Hope ya'll have had some fun and time to kick back over the h days :D

I remembered the little stocker stang dyno curve I found on another site

It occured to me I could use it to help some see the differences .....

In a stock stang
and
One which had its powerband extended with typical hot rod parts

Notice on the stocker the power falls at 4400 rpm :notnice:

Notice on the hci combo the power holds until 5800 rpm :nice:

In the past, we've talked about how steep gears act so differently :Word:
in combos such as these two examples

A lot of the time ... You see a fellow with a stocker and t5 trans say ......
"My first gear is too quick with these gears" :eek: :bang:

Well ... It is my hope here :)

This info will give a visual perspective of how 1400 more rpm :banana:
can make such a big difference ;)

btw ... Do these charts I post up here :shrug:

Well ... Does anybody get any benefit from them :scratch:
or
Is it just ... mumbo jumbo for everybody :rlaugh:

As always :D
