A racer goes out an buys a 3.0 because they think it is faster (that motor it's self is), but the lap time for that driver do not show it. The have faster lap times with a "slower" motor.
One word: "BALANCE" it is all about BALANCE...
Barry I am purely refering to people who say that Brand x is faster than y running the same motor. Not people who can setup a car and run a slower motor and beat other people due to that fact. The whole point of this thread was to try to see if someone has actual facts showing the difference on speed controls not to see which one "feels" the best or can supply the smoothest power. The real questioning was geared towards if you take away all boost and timing in a "blinky" mode is there one speedo that out performs the rest.
I asked this after I was discussing bench testing on phones processing power for the internet. I was hoping someone had gone through testing saying that they would be like well I tested 5 speedo's and the results differ by certain percentages from either battery draw or speed variance.
