was a good evening pity i had to leave
one question
what counts more the amount of KW's or the amount of torque
I say Torque. ( and someone is about to post and tell me IM wrong)
and I can be.
Its just a hunch.
From what i understand Torque is for acceleration and KW is to hold the speed.
What Id rather be dooing!

That is very true slide and you are right.
Torque for me is also more important.

A very very simple explaination, torque is the power of the bang in the cylinder, KW is the peak rate of bang accross the rev range.... Chew that one over a bit
