Yes, 2 or 3 times but which one is right, or are the all right?. Being a Mech Engr I like a little proof and not just theory. Somewhere there has to be a test or paper or something to add fact to this. I am going to Kaase Racing next week for lunch. They have or had a dyno that ran thru a clutch and lenco. I'm going to check to see if when they simulated a run if they varied the rate of accel in each gear as it happens on the track and if they did what happened to the HP numbers.
If you think of it, next time you talk to you clutch buddy at Advanced (I think) would you check and see what he thinks. He likely has more experience and knowledge than the rest of us combined.
Right now I lean toward a combination of all the answers given so far and not just one.
If you use your example of the 3 to 4 ratio, on a tranny with 2.47-1.77-1.33-1.00 the 2-3 and 3-4 drop is the same, do you think the slip would then happen in 3 as well as 4? No proof needed, just your thoughts. You do have more experience at this than I do for sure.
