    okay I see where you're headed. ANd it's alright to be an egg head. Look at Austin Coil. And I love that man. I was giving a standing point of launch if you could use 7200 RPM, carry it through a great 4.5 second run to complete the quarter, 1600 for 4.5 seconds of grunt. Siplified to see that yet a motor that doesn't need all 7200 RPM's to run but it is more than 540 like the prof pointed out. I've seen Dtat sheets from competitors that went as low as 1120 and ad high as 1700plus. Physics makes a strange bedfellow because what the math says rarely happens even in the best of runs

    What if the "Hokey Pokey" is what it's really all about?
