I think the interesting thing is that the 429hp/544tq still only put the car at a 12.88 time.

I don't have my issue in front of me, but I know the S/S Poncho racers I've talked to are always sacrificing TQ to cheat the HP further up the rpm range...the higher powerband lets them take advantage of steeper gears...
