I hope no one interprets my remarks as any kind of criticism....this engine is most excellent....but it makes about the same torque as my engine, which is mostly stock. I don't have my dyno sheets in front of me, but I recall it made about 205 lb/ft assuming a 15% drivetrain loss. If so, this illustrates the function of horsepower, which is simply a mathematical derivative of torque. I think it is (torque * rpm) / 5250. So, you can build an engine that makes the same torque as a wimpy engine like mine, but just coax it into making that torque at a higher rpm, and you've got a high-hp engine that makes no more actual power than the wimpy engine. Or am I missing something?
