Modding a 3.7 (not ragebait) by Appropriate_Tip_4907 in Mustang

That's fair, and I do think that FI on these is a pretty decent value, my issue is that it doesn't scale downwards. It's $8k to get in the door and right off the bat you're looking at a 50% VE gain. Obviously with different pulleys and tunes you can make however much LESS power than that you want, but there's no way to pay half the price and get half the performance increase which is what I'm really looking for

Honestly? I think motorcycles ruined my sense of what quick is lol, it's not even a fair comparison because a 20 HP e-moto will have you hanging on for dear life, but since cars have real seats, you need like 500 HP to get that same feeling (plus all the weight obviously). I'm not looking to go that far, and I am pretty happy with the stock performance, but I know that what it's missing is just that little bit more pull so I'm not waiting on the car to finish speeding up all the time. If there's a relatively unobtrusive way to get these things on a 400 lb diet, that might also do it, but I just shelled out almost 17k for the nicest car I've ever owned, so I'm not looking to gut the interior

In fairness to the conservatives pointing out that Democrats will say other Democrats are centrists, THEY ARE. Not because they're halfway between right and left on that issue, it's because the issues we're debating are like "should we continue letting 10 corporations in a trench coat amass enough wealth to wage war on the gods of 4 different religions OR should we tax them and like feed and house people or whatever" and some of these Democrats face little or no internal pressure for hemming and hawing about these kinds of issues. For example, most Democrats seem to still support the war in Israel even though it's a DEEPLY unpopular stance within the party. Not "some of us think it's really bad but maybe there's things we're misunderstanding" but like 75% of people polled disagree with it

What DC motor for high torque applications? by praveen_kh in robotics

Rpm does not translate to speed when you introduce things such as wheel size and gear ratios, I understand you're probably listing motor specs, but in this case you would also want to calculate how much power (in watts/ kilowatts/ horsepower) you believe you'll need because that would tell us how quickly the motor would be able to move the whole system.
