You will never know if you can go faster until you try. Some vehicles are power/aero limited... we experienced that a Bonneville years ago when Marty got into the club. After 8 runs, with gear changes, tuning changes, shift point changes..... none of it mattered... all within .5 MPH... we felt like we were bracket racing
When POWER available is equal to POWER required (
ALL forms of drag and losses),
YOU ARE DONE.As the above example illustrates, there can be
small variances, but basically, you have nothing left to accelerate the vehicle.
Newton wins this argument,
every time.
