LOL.5spd GT said:I "brought up" the 60ft factor as another example of how track times/mph can vary...and going off the MPH gained is a good determiner if all the other factors are the same...if you have severe traction issues it can some times be hard to determine when to shift which can result in a bog to the next gear...
Hypothetical much? The only cars who are going to have traction problems are those who are already using the biggest throttle body possible. What are you going to say next? "Or a Hot Street car on street tires..."
I like how you evaded the point of the question. You know damn well that the context of my question was - you are the one that looks bad for picking and choosing the the way you want to answer questions. What are you going to say next? "Well there are many purposes of the throttle body, so I decided to say the most important."5spd GT said:"What is the purpose of a TB?"
Okay...that is a pretty simple answer...attached on the throttle body is the TPS (throttle position sensor)...it basically alerts the ECU when the car is idling/under WOT/part throttle and therefore goes back to the computer and tells the computer the parameters of what fuel to run with the air being received and how to spark the whole system...to make for an efficient run...that is why it is somewhat important to clean the TB everynow and then to keep the 'puter to get a "clean" reading...
This isn't microbiology or some other molecular science - it's freaking DRAG RACING! Strap the car to your ass and go. Dump the clutch, hold on, row 4 gears, read the time slip and compare. It's that simple. I don't think anyone would botch a comparison to make one product look better than another, especially if they have no hand in the game.5spd GT said:So the day these "gains" were made...was the air temp/humidity the same? shifted at same rpm? shifted at the same speed? That would be practically impossible to a human to do that...running back to back or on another day...that is why some people keep getting quicker when they go back to the track (they change those variables) whether knowing or not knowing...and it equates to a better time or mph or both...
Since John Force drives a "Mustang," we're going to start comparing funny cars to 11 and 12 second street cars now? Cut me a break.5spd GT said:Good points...remember that the "fastest" cars usually overpower a dyno's capabilities and also the "fastest" cars are usually running an automatic based tranny (more consistent)...if your talking about NHRA and all that...
You, my friend, are very well versed in the art of bull$h!+ing. Too bad no one participating in this thread believes a word of it...
