Don: You can get sidetracked reading Steves post. Go back to Dave above or Steven@nd below and keep it simpler untill you've had some weeks to mull it over. Your 62mph example is fine but don't guess-ta-mate power if they go up a 'changing or steeper' hill because flatness of torque curve of each engine will enter into the result if RPM changes a lot. In high lugging engines such as tractors, FLATTNESS of a torque curve helps maintain RPM a lot(without having to shift so much). You don't need that flatness in a street hotrod. You need lots of RPM. A wide range of say 2000 to 6000 would be nice. Ya keep shifting to max the torque applied to rearend(pavement). Just keep it simpler for now. The engine designers trade flatness of the torque curve for other things.. if the application requires it. Hope I got you back to keeping it simple? R.
