honest to God NEVER KNEW THAT !! , but thats kool

the reason why is because if there was much more every time you hit the breaks the rear tires would lock up and cause you to slide a lil because of the weight transfer from back to front when breaking.

if only i had something to run... well something serious to run, anyway. even though the 4.3's impressed me with what it can do with a 4500lb truck, it's all i got & sure ain't a racer.

by the way... with your T56, it's cool to shift at the same RPMs because the gears are pretty evenly spaced. my NV3500 has some pretty drastic changes between my gears. so like i said, it depends on the transmission you're using.

here's a graph showing the ratio differences during a shift with each of our vehicles

okay im a double major in psysics/ and math for commerce(stats)

and that sigma law formula... was integral calculus and thus rightfully so should be the prime example for the measuring of distance as space under the graph of acceleration per gear however statisically speaking each gear ratio will have a different "torque thrust" as i call it at each different rpm ... i once watched a video of some legendary japenese driver who was driving an sti through a course and was didnt shift where he was supposed to and ended up getting lower times... now for the quarter mile example for the camaro if somebody could please provide me with the numbers of hp tq, on a dyno at each gear( yes each gear most dynos are tested on 3rd gear) i can happily input the numbers for you... keep in mind that the most important variables are tire size and rolling diameter... wheel weight with tire, vehicle weight, gearing 1,2,3,4... rear end, and engine torque at specific range dealing between epsilon and delta domain
then we can use integral calc to calculate the maximum surplus ...
if it be at 6500 for this output or 6000 for that output... but i need the numbers

[CaptianSam]

in return to the arguement... sometimes higher hp equate lower track times because of this... example a cone air filter for my 350z increased the hp yes... but dropped off low end torque completly and i was shifting mainly at 6600 before the filter i achieved the best times with the cone filter shifting at 6100
and in total the filter made alot of useless noise because the times were a couple ticks slower

[CaptianSam]

somebody get me a dyno chart of the first 4 gears and ill be able to tell you the exact numbers using the simple domain of integration fomula and etching graphs to formulate the derivitives and equate true area we can maximize that area minusing the total next gear surplus from our original form...

yeah! come on! math is overrated!!
