How come honda builds lackluster motors?
LOL - if you are so knuckleheaded to rather have the peak HP # than consistanly more in every other part of the powerband, god help you, you should have a 100HP Banshee that makes 3HP at idle, 10HP at 9000, 100HP at 10k, and 10HP at 11k - that is the logic there
Thomez there are many ways to achieve your goals and the broadest powerband doesnt mean you are gonna be faster, just like having the most peak horsepower doesnt mean you are gonna be faster either...So sitt back and just enjoy the melody as Offspring once said.

I would not put much stock in themez's replies. He bought a used cannonfail. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img] He is a college student to boot. Makes you wonder about that new math.
Ernie- you going to strikk bad?? looks like he lives down by ward660?

Once Thomez explained to me that 2 strokes werent good flat drag racers because they couldnt produce the torque needed to do so...They were only good for hillshooting. I have never been the same since.

themez- You are the one that should have the "corvus brachyrhynchos" passed to you. You are the one with the dale. That was a little better than your previous attempts. You must be having your mommy help you with your homework lately. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] Reload and try again
"corvus Brachyrhynchos" sounds like it has something to do with crow?? But i may be wrong. I spent my college days having a big party.

No sir, you are mistaken. No crow needed for me, I haven't made these huge false paper-racing assumptions only to be proven wrong and then attempt some sort of ego-maintenence by attacking the people that have done so.
Glad you figured it out though, it means that Google has again proved a reliable resource.
Now crawl back into hibernation mode. Go argue with Gabe, it is his turn to make you look foolish.

Soo.. if one has more hp than the other and weigh about the same. The one with less hp should be faster because it has more torque and a lower redline? That must be why everyone buys low duration low lift cams when they go race. That must also be why they lower the exhaust port on banshees to make them faster.
