[QUOTE="tt335ci03cobra, post: 16266675, member: 68944"] % or logical assessment, that is the question. Does a drivetrain magically eat more power just because it is being spun quicker to 6000rpm? I am 100% confident that the speed to which you spin a drivetrain will eat more and more torque because inherently the opposite force of moving a system weighin let’s say 150lbs of components to 8000rpm is those components desire to be at rest. Resistance to spin is then represented as torque needed to spin to 8000rpm. It will take less torque to spin to 6000rpm or 4000rpm for obvious reason. Go take a 15lbs bucket of water and spin it a circle with your hand at 30 revolutions per second, then again at 60 revolutions per second. How many calories will you burn at 30 and 60rpm? Take the transfer from being more so mechanical and direct as in a dct or manual trans and now try to account for pushing fluid and gates and locking up a torque converter. The percentage game does make much more sense with a torque converter auto because of lock up. [/QUOTE]
