Hi, i raced a v6 Altima today on a straight going Uphill , he has i/h/e/p and God knows what else and we we're even .

If we we're racing downhill or a plain straight ... would it had made any difference? Since going Uphill the Torque helps and the s2k has less than the Altima.

 

No. It's all in the hp/weight ratio..

 

I'm fairly sure torque has something do with it... Was this the 3.5L Altima?

 

Yeah, it does.. Torque = HP*5252/rpm.. Actually the Altima should have had more trouble uphill since it's heavier.. All things considered, gear ratios should equalize any torque deficit.. HP and Torque are interchangeable in this instance.. If you break it down into instantaneous acceration, the car with the higher torque per pound at the wheels will be accelerating faster at any given instant.. But if you look at the time window of acceleration as a whole, the car with the highest average torque (or hp, doesn't matter) per pound at the wheels over the time window will be the one to the top first...

 

I just raced a stock 3.5 altima in my stock s2000 and took him really really bad. I guess those mods that he did really made a difference.

 

Were you both going up the same hill?

 

yes , 04' Altima 3.5

He told me he has full catback , intake , header , pullies

We we're on the same road, side by side going uphill.
