I agree completely the point is not to run 0 slip but some allowed amount
around 10% is generally used. If you completely hook up and run 0% slip it
will slow down for sure. every car i have ever worked on that went faster at
the 1/4 went faster at the five if it was still on all cyliders and handling
well.
