It's also to keep the plugs clean. Engines made to operate rich, and with high cam overlap can load the plugs rather easily.

Let's see, 2000hp and 1500 lb-ft torque......That's about the same ratio as the typical street car, like for example a Toyota Camry making 200hp and 150 torque.......So where is this stump-pulling torque monster you guys are advocating? That was my point.

Just like to point out, that those diesel powered trucks are faster than a gas powered ford lightning..

can you not see the difference between torque and a torque curve? And, just because they make numbers that can be compared to a ratio, at PEAK performance, doesnt mean the curves are anything alike.

The more you modify an engine to get it to breathe better & rev faster, then it becomes less of a "torque monster" and more of a balanced all-around engine........So you're kinda destroying the whole "torquey stump-pulling engines are all you need" argument

Sounds pretty smooth to me. Does not seem to shake as much as a V-twin either. |
