Do tell - what is the project? How can we all help?

Lol, that was an either/or question. Was it the theoretical top speed (no drag estimates figured) OR was it the drag adjusted speed.

I'll have to ask Mike how much he wants publicly known first. I do know he said it was ok to get user's input on the various vehicle data. I am currently putting together a google docs spreadsheet to easily gather this data instead of sifting through posts (and we all know how topics tend to stray). I will add in what I already know and then post the result for others to add.

theoretical top speed not the drag adjusted one. I guess the torque of the 1521/1Y was enough to push it through the air.

I find the thoretical top speed closer most of the time. I'm not really sure that the drag adjusted thing is all that accurate. Seems like WAY to many variables to accurately estimate them all. Its cool that it tries to do it though.

Brian... I'm interested in this "project" also. If it is what I think it is it will be an awesome addition around here.

Just for giggles, what do you think it is? Not that I'll say if you're right or not.

Is it a.... database similar to your motor selector and speed calculator to be used as a system builder and component selector for selecting all of the components you need to do a conversion for most of the common vehicle conversions? You select your vehicle and then choose basic options and it selects the components you need to do your conversion. Not just a motor selector, but a whole setup selector. Motor mount, battery tray, pinion gears, everything you needed for a specific conversion.

Top all that off with a "Buy Now" button at the bottom and have it all load into the cart and you would have a beautiful system.
