Which setup is better?

[Acan]

Hi guys im posting this because of confusion in setting up the Nismo Z-Tune '03 or any other car, i think.

I have 2 different setup for 500PP limit using sport soft tyres and weight of the car is equal, 1175kg

Setup 1
HP 332
Torque 355 ft-lb
Power/Weight Ration 3.48 kg/HP

With Stock Turbo

Setup 2
HP 324
Torque 389 ft-lb
Power/Weight Ration 3.56 kg/HP

With Low RPM Range Turbo Kit.

So which setup is better? Any opinions is appreciated.

Only you know that!

Do hot laps on 2 completely different tracks (FUJI and Eiger Short) and see which is faster/Better handling!

Use the A B C setup options and have both for your car.

The variety of circuits on ths game means that sometimes more torque is beneficial, sometimes it's more power.

You can also experiment with setup C and have a hybred setup, maybe run the 2nd setup with big torque but only use 5 gears, make the most of that torque.

There's 3 setup options per car - make the most of them

Low rpm turbos usually work really well for PP limited tunes. Sometimes having 8 horsepower less in peak power is no disadvantage if it was like a needlepoint on the power graph.

Sometimes you can easily tell visually from the graph if installing a part will be an advantage. Remember that the scale will change, so it's not immediately visible that you get extra power over the entire rpm range when adding parts for horsepower.

I will provide a quick sketch. This is what the two curves would look like if the were visible together with the same scale. The pink curve will represent the horsepower after installing a horsepower upgrade and the flattened section is what you might need to do to meet the required PP limit. The section of the black curve that is cut with the flat pink line is where you lose power from the installed part, the edges of the flat section are still a power boost! (as well as over the rest of the rpm range)
