Bolt-on acceleration improvements

However, my question was aimed more at quantifying this improvement. Car and Driver lists statistically significant improvements of 0-60 times at differences >=0.3s
oh ok, yes you are correct on the equation, i was just trying to make it simple. BUT i didnt know you ment statistics in that sense.. from your original post i thought you meant more in a quarter mile or top speed sense... but when you bring improvements at different increments in the power band or an increase in acceleration from say x to z speed then it makes more sense.. Like i said, I was trying to be rude I was simply stating what I thought to be true and obvious. thanks for clarifying that.. and it would be really cool to be able to see improvements in that way.
