You guys answered your own questions regarding VE in relation to compression and forced induction. 
I've heard this before, from more than just you! I do tend to run *very* stiff, but you're probably right. I'll evaluate the driveability, but part of that reason was trying to hold that 12,000cc Godzilla of a thing up.
I use a locked diff in drag racing, this was a fragment left over from then. I guess I should set it up a little better, it would indeed help at least a little in grabbing all that torque. If you also notice, I still left in the "Boost" value at 3psi, to help me test gearing at top speed.
Yeah, I really liked running high flywheel numbers, kind of like how most cars feel when they're stock. It (can) have a slight affect on the motors ability to rev, but it loses revs more slowly and makes the motor easier to match revs with. Clutch work in general is just 'nicer' with it that way.
This, in fact, further proves how close to realistic the LFS engine physics actually are. The M3 and Ferrari's (in general) create positive pressure with the induction manifold. The end result is a forced induction like effect, without the use of a mechanical turbine. The Honda S2000 also does this, among many others.
It might be some kind of "fuel energy" (143,000 BTU per Gallon?) value, as I know when you switch to the "Race" car type, that's the primary number it changes to alter the engine dynamics. I would assume that switching to a "race" configuration would also make the fuel type change to 116 octane, no?

Primarily because what that number is actually doing is altering Volumetric Efficiency. A number greater than 1 would no longer be Naturally Aspirated, in a technical manner of speaking.
The second reason is that LFS has nothing to take into account component/flywheel/drivetrain weight etc., and when you increase Volumetric Efficiency past 1 it begins to rev ridiculously fast. The only way I've fixed this in the past is created more room to rev by increasing the rear gear and geared the individual gears "wide". Thus peak torque was realised at 12,800rpm, and you would shift at something like 16k.
I also can't increase the redline anymore, so I had a limited amount of room to work in. This is why I geared it the way I did, to keep below 6,000rpm.
My LFSTweak Setups
I've played with LFSTweak extensively over the years, really getting some of my machines down to a science. There's a few of them I REALLY enjoy driving around, so I'm going to use this thread to post some of them (It's at least 6 cars w/ setups). I hope some of you enjoy them as much as I do!
My first one is kind of a recent project, someone asked:
I wasn't able to reach 900 horsepower unfortunately, without using a number greater than 1. What I did come up with, however, is the most powerful car you can make using LFSTweak without turbines, which was 870 horsepower. I figured it was close enough. The result? Well, see for yourself, and thank you very much for the idea that got this car underway! I call this one "Project Naturally Aspirated".
P.S. Criticism is very welcome, but please be constructive. Don't just say this car sucks, but telling me where it could be improved (and perhaps even how) is very appreciated!
