The concept itself it very easy to grasp, and makes tons of sense in most applications, just not this one. We are not talking about adding 100 ft/lbs or more of torque to a rear wheel drive, 3:73 geared Mustang, we are talking about adding that extra torque to a SVTC. The more torque you add to the stock SVTC, the more wheelspin you get, regardless of what RPM you launch at. Sure you get more power, but with that power comes more traction issues. There is no way I would be able to lower my launch RPM's because of the increased torque. Sure I would come off a tad better, but I would punch it and still spin for 100'. Put slicks on my car, and if I am still bogging , then I will agree more torque is needed. The issue here is traction......is that concept really so hard to grasp???
