I"m wondering the same damn thing. Thats makes turbo's not seem so cool all the sudden.
I don't know why everybody always rants and raves about how much rwhp somebody else has. Torque is what you feel, not horsepower. Better yet, lets all just compare time slips and see who got there first.

doesnt that sound ALOT though? think its in the cam??
Carrol Shelby once said "Horsepower sells cars and Torque wins races" :D
I believe that to be true. When it's torque time there no replacement for displacement.
that also might be a typo. Like they got the figures switched? thats what i though when i read it. :confused:
I haven't read the article, but what was the rpm that the number was measured. My current combo makes about 600rwtq and 400rwhp at 4000rpm.
"470 RWHP and 610 RWTQ at only 3,400 on pump gas"
is that N/A? holy axel twister batman!
here, TF TW heads, that flow 219 cfm intake 296 cfm exhaust .600, holley systemax II intake 17 psi on the vortech Strim, cam specs....230/.236 .544/.555, 112
this is on a 302 i take it? sounds like they got the rwhp and rwtq switched to be honest. An S-trim is not gonna make that kinda torque on a 302.
why I'm going big windsor in a nutshell

yes sir! between doug and my friend who is putting a 393 together i was swayed as well.
It'll happen for me too brent. until then it'll be some gt40p's or just 40's, cheap intake, and a cheap cam with some boost. :)
maybe about mid season.
306 with a mexican block cause his stock block blew up (literally)
well, I hate to be a disagree'r, but you are wrong, back in 98, my stock block S trim combo made low 500rwhp with 688rwtq(tq was at 4000rpms if I remember correctly) thru an AOD with a 3200 converter. its all in how you tune your car, I for one like to make as much torque as possible and let the HP fall where it does in a conservative manner. but thats just me.Quote:
