So many variables, so little understanding.

Peak power is only 1 part of the equation. Torque value and more importantly area under the curve is what really tells the tale of performance. This is where things like a drag mph really tells what 'power' the car is making.

For the online bragging rights as to who's dick is bigger, running a car in a lower gear, fudging things like the intake temps etc etc are all done to produce the highest power value. This is 'cheating'. Will it effect how your car drives or performs, no, its just for the online stroking rights.
