well i didnt mean to totally lug the engine around. But more like.... for example, 1st, 2nd, 3rd, all using 10% throttle to maintain safe acceleration. Or, start in 2nd and use say 14% throttle and 10% in third. Any advantage either way? Its just rpms vs load im asking about basically. And please explain bsfc peak? or better yet...how do i find it for my car? i know that is something like brake specific fuel consumption...but i thought that was for figuring out proper AFRs on the dyno?
