> Rolling Road Test < Tom?

[Ian (Geforce)]

Ah ha! I reminded myself.

Now I have a shorter ratio gearbox, obviously the car accelerates quicker.. so.. If I put my car onto a rolling road, am I right by saying the cars torque would show up greater than normal if I was to put it on a rolling road?

Or am I talking out of my arse?

Ian.

No, the torque and power of the engine will remain the same. The difference is with the lower ratio the car appears lighter to the engine hence the difference in acceleration.

Thanks Daz, lol. Was just a thought anyway

Beacuse I'm putting extra strain on the engine now, should I be using different Oil or anything I -Should- be aware of?
