The Acceleration Weight Transfer page determines the wheel thrust, potential and maximum acceleration force, and weight transfer under acceleration based on these inputs:

Torque

Speed

Drivetrain loss

Differential ratio

Tire diameter

Vehicle weight

Rear weight

CG height

Wheelbase

Acceleration traction

Road grade

The potential acceleration force is a product of torque multiplication to the driving wheels. The maximum acceleration force is based on weight and weight transfer. These calculations are only valid for rear-wheel-drive vehicles.
