Took the time to interpolate the torque values onto a single chart so you can see how much the torque curve has improved. I eyeballed the values so hopefully pretty close. For some reason the ISF chart has torque/hp crossing at 4800 rpm while the RCF is crossing at the typical 5252. For that reason its apple vs oranges on the hp between the charts since different hp equations are being used, but torque vs torque can be compared directly.

I think Dave600hL can (since he lives in Japan). I hope he browses through the RCF forum and reads this post =)

Anyways:
@4TehNguyen

Interesting analysis.

So in layman's terms:
No loss of torque between ISF and RCF with regards to 1,500 RPM up to 3,000 RPM..........but from 3,000 RPM onwards, the difference is clear that makes the RCF superior.

For noobs (like me), what does this mean? If an RCF decided to race against an ISF, would the RCF win? (based on this performance spec superiority or advantage)
