Re: Torque question the reason noone has replied yet is because of your question. Your movement down the track is not necessarily linear in its proggression in time and distance, so you can't rightly say an improvement in the 1/4 is positively going to show an improvement in the 1/8. You asked a question that can't be answered truthfully without experimentation.

Re: Torque question A torque convertor alows the engine to preform at it's stall rpm ? so after the engine rpm has surpassed the stall rpm there is no improvement in that gear is this correct ? so in the 1/8 mile my car pulls roughly 85 miles per hour so I'm still in 2nd gear so my car see's the innitial jump from 3000 stall once passing 3000 rpm the convertor helps nothing until the shift to 2nd and only untill I pass again 3000 rpm correct me if I'm wrong so I think if a .5 second improvement is made in the quarter mile the majority is done in the 1/8th.
