however wif more low end torque... u do not need to press da accelerator so much just to get moving, so u can cut down on fuel consumption la...Originally posted by xtracooljustin+Jan 29 2005, 09:12 --></div><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td>QUOTE (xtracooljustin @ Jan 29 2005, 09:12 )</td></tr><tr><td id='QUOTE'>Originally posted by yinho@Jan 29 2005, 05:25

cause more torque i can save more fuel.. :D
there is no way u can increase torque without sacrificing fuel.. lightening ur car is the best solution :lol:
shoot me!
yaaa..this is what i'm talking about..yeah. very good point man.Originally posted by rollakid@Jan 29 2005, 10:17
my memory isn't good, can't remember the formula for sure, but if not mistaken its something like 1lb-ft of torque at 5252rpm = 1 hp, mean if you have 200lb-ft of torque at 5252rpm then you have 200hp at that time.
so with the equation you probably can calculate the rest already. and dyno machine can't measure hp, they mesure torque only, and use that formula to calculate the hp from it.
btw OHV is pretty hard to gain much torque, except go for bigger displacement
