So I was playing around with one of the 1/4 mile calculators the other day and got to thinking about how torque is factored into drag racing... I know as an old general rule of thumb on a regular type of car, 100hp is typically worth about 1 second. Obviously there are a 1000 other variables to that, but its close.
So using this example... A car running 13 flat that has 400 HP / 400 TQ, how much faster would it make it if the same car had 400 HP / 500 TQ? Again, I understand there are many factors but is there some type of ratio/generality used to calculate?
