    LOL, that's why you gotta read the physicist/mechanical engineers go at it up there for information!

    Forum members capable of cognoscente thought. Very Cool. No mention of peak particle velocity? From a Civil Engineers point of view…3/4 throttle works best for me.

    fwiw i spoke with the master tech rs6 guru here in phx. he did my OCT work and used to work with audi, now out on his own. he agreed that the less than full throttle is typically a bit better, but said it had more to do with regulation of torque at the torque converter and tranny vs. all th ephysics you guys are discussing.
