oh and i happen to have an LS tranny so im not just talking out of my ass either.

i have someone with way less horsepower than me catching me at the tops of our gears.

Yes i can beat him OFF THE LINE thru first and second but when he shifts to 3rd and im in second he starts to catch up. and from then on he is pulling on me "because he gets thru the gears QUICKER" and needs less horsepower to pull thru them.
