I think you meant the change in velocity over time is acceleration--not force.

So using these physics terms I would say that the JRSC has more jerk or change in force such that the forces build over the rev range, and as such is the case, start off with relatively mild forces. Other kits or cars with flat torque curves yet with the same peak torque as the JRSC will not feel jerk over the rpms; they will feel a large constant impulse over the rev range that the JRSC will only feel at the end of its rev range.

Right?
