The Zetec Motor also has a slight edge in Torque as well. Which should equalize the extra 200 rpms. But, it mainly is trying to help the SVT not to make that extra shift because of the different gearing..... But, like Brad said... It's going to be different for different tracks.

Ryan, I think the Zetec will have a slight advantage at Willow Springs because of lack of about 4 shifts per lap. At Buttonwillow and Cal-Speedway.. They should be pretty close to even.
