Look I'm just stating my opinion why I believe this is true regarding the importance of tq when whp is the same. I really dont want to waste the OP time and others so if u want to discuss more, u are welcome to voice ure our thoughts over pm.

I think you guys are arguing semantics. Acceleration is proportional to torque at the wheels, and it can be calculated by area under the torque curve. HP is a calculation from torque and speed.
The car with the greater area under the torque curve will win. Generic comparisons of "500HP versus 500lb-ft" are meaningless without comparing RPM - where the engine makes the torque, and how flat the torque curve is. So for the generalized 500HP with turbo or supercharger, we have to assume a few things: turbo makes full boost long before rev limit, where supercharger typically makes full boost at rev limit (and significantly less boost below the rev limit if it's a centrifugal blower). The extra mid-range boost from the load-based turbo increases torque output, and should have the larger area under the curve. At the BMW CCA Oktoberfest club race at Barber Motorsports Park in Birmingham, AL, a 135i in H-Prepared would literally stomp all over higher HP mod-class cars exiting the turns due to its massive torque over the naturally aspirated competition. Once the NA cars were in the higher revs where they finally made some torque, they were able to stay the same speed as the 135. If the drag race were to continue down a runway (they were limited to the short straights at Barber), the higher HP cars would start to reel in the 135 due to drag. Higher HP is desired once aerodynamic drag comes into play.

Surprised no one has brought up the question of fueling issues. So is it that now the n54 can handle these numbers without hitting the fueling limits? I thought it was right around 500whp where we were seeing issues?

In most cases HP is what gives a vehicle top end power... when it comes to drag racing, that is what gives most vehicles advantage. Yes, there are high tq cars that you see racing but those vehicles always have high HP as well... If TQ was what mattered then diesel vehicles would win races left and right although they don't because they can't rev high and make enough top end power (HP). If you compare two similar cars, one that has 550 WHP and 450 WTQ and another with one that has 500 WHP and 550 WTQ or so, my money is on the higher hp cars... there are a lot more factors that come into play but when it comes to racing that is usually the case, in fact most large turbo cars give up a little bit of TQ for an increase in top end HP. As someone already mentioned that moves the curve to the right as well in the higher RPM's, where HP will be much more pronounced than TQ. TQ is very important but in the end it's about having a proper curve with HP at the top.

The stock injectors were meant to flow enough fuel while on 5bar (low pressure if the HPFP fails), so you can imagine what happens when the pressure is increased by a factor of 20 to 40, something well over 500HP at 200bar. The only major bottleneck anyone has hypothesized is that the LPFP cannot flow enough to maintain that power level, but that has yet to be directly confirmed.

Funny stuff... You guys aren't really talking about the tradeoff. There aren't many, if at all, engines with high redlines and tons of torque. For straight line racing a turbo is obviously better but going around a track N/A (or turbos that act NA are better) because you never dip below 4k rpm anyways. I will admit doing all of SOW in 3rd and 4th gear was pretty fun, haha. As the dude said above, it all depends on the power curve. BTW I would rather have some KW Comp 3 ways than 700whp, haha.

500whp seems to be the cap until the AFR starts to look too lean for comfort. Dz recently found out that the Cobb was able to alter the DME to fix this issue (if any). Here's a dyno of the RB where afr goes lean up top and i'm sure boost was taper down at the end. |

Interesting. What was the tune? Flash, JB, Procede? Just curious, since the piggybacks are limited by fuel trims, where a flash should be relatively unfettered. I think Dzenno mentioned that his Cobb tune has tweaks to remove such limitations.
I'm sure Shiv is also working on something to smash that 500HP glass ceiling, otherwise a big single turbo kit is pointless.

The RB dyno was from shiv website with only the procede. That is why I asked the OP if he did anything to the DME with the procede to get the AFR so solid and the boost steady at 18-19psi to redline. |

Hey, great numbers there, that's solid AFR and power, good job...now I have to talk to my Canuck brother and get him to switch tunes hehe juuuuust kidding
Would be nice to have seen a baseline graph though with its stock AFR trace P.S. In terms of that RB dyno on my car that was procede v2 in March last year...i'm now running COBB, JB4 is used for gauges/shift lights mostly at the moment...don't want to take this thread off topic as anything 500+ with nice AFR like shown in OP does deserve respect |
