well since we are driving on much smaller traction tires the touqe is simply un noticable to the normal driver

tourqe on the abs is overtaken with the rpms of the motors so tourqe really cant be changed that much...but more than normal tourqe is best for me

do u get what im saying... because normkal car have to BREAk tractionfrom the rubber tires..and they use touqe to do that

our abs tires already break traction from full throttle

hope u understand now

and i think stiffer belts and less droop on the belt (tighten it more with the belt tensioner) can help out with more touqe and reaction time...im not to sure though
