Acceleration, to a point. How often do I need to break 55 mph? Most tracks wont allow it. So I'd like to get there as fast as I can.

u cant have too much acceleration cuz ull have no top end (gearing)
u cant have too much top end cuz ull have no acceleration (gearing)

depends on horsepower zim.

I can run a 1.3 60' and cross the finish line at 96mph. I have acceleration and top end.

For a more or less stock motor i would rather have acceleration because like maddog said you will very rarely see the better of 55mph
