everones about horsepower but the real power is in torque whats the best ways to raise torque. maybe mossman knows, i doubt it.

 

No, that's not true whatsoever. The only way to increase your torque is start modding like you would for the useless HP. <IMG src=smileys/smiley11.gif border="0"></P>

 

</P>


afterall, hp IS part of the torque equation</P>

 

very true about the hp is part of the torque equation, to raise torque u gotta raise the horse power. haveing a big motor helps too. a v6 family car can have 260 hp, a v8 mustang can have 260, having the v8 u get alot mroe torque STOMPING THE SH*IT OUT OF THEM N A RACE

 

</P>


Actually hp is the resultant of the torque equation. </P>

 

LOL.....either way torque is your friend,but horsepower is your dad.it all depends on what you want,my car is setup for an opened road course ,i get my but kicked till about halfway down the 1/4 cause i have 3.08s and not alot of torque,but as soon as the motor starts to rev it screws.its all in the prefferance of the owner.

 

some comparisons for y'all to think about:</P>
