Anyways the race should be good, I cant put my money anywhere else but on Alberto. It should be an awesome race, I'll be filming shotgun in one of the beasts this friday.

Figuring this one out is easy. Whoever is lower and has the skinnier front tires is gonna win... 
I'll predict Alberto will take the jump but Luie will catch him before Alberto hits the speed limiter. In the end the 3.3 FD is gonna cumulatively end up putting less torque over time to the ground. The only other big variable is shift time.
Too bad you don't have built 5AT to race with, cause then you both would get spanked
. j/k of course

My friend is a air controller at this airfield. On Saturday a magazine has it for the whole day. The airfield will be close for the holidays = no air traffic after 5pm. He is going to let us go at it for 20min after the the FOD crew is done. Thats all I am going to say.

Oh, BTW... Bert, don't disappoint me.

My bet's on 'Berto if both run @ 15psi...
Take a look at the two dyno plots:
Alberto @ 15psi
eagletangreen
He's got him through every RPM point. The trend continues all the way to 6k RPM when they both hover at about 530 whp. The 3.3 "might" be a factor in slowing him down a notch, but I wouldn't bet the farm on it. Either way, it should be close.
