which would you choose, and why?

Bob and Sid it sounds like you guys are arguing about horsepower over torque. If you build for torque the horsepower will usually follow. At higher RPMs torque will never exceed horsepower (above 5250 rpm).
Something observing engines on dynos has taught me.

we're not arguing at all ... we discuss physics.
Or - yeah, like bob said - we nerd around

OK, for an experiment I've gone ahead and installed the 'Magic Sliders' into the torque converter system and it runs so much smoother! I welded the little nails together to create the gravity wheels for the expansion chamber in the 'driver' and carved out little triangles for the driven pulley and I've seriously got to say...... I think I've gained 3 HP and added 15 MPH! Those little bastards are amazing! For my next trick I will try to add them into my high speed bearing system and see if I can stretch just a pinch more speed. You are the greatest for bringing us such a great idea! I'm amazed! Thanks, Scott
