power and torque gains?

[colindunn]

im gonna dyno my car eventually but i was wondering what kind of hp but mostly torque i have with a 3.4, headers, intake, plugs, wires, tune. i know it will vary from car to car but give me a range of what i have power wise.

maybe 220/240 if youre lucky and its in good running shape.

 

[GOTIT4CHEAP16]

220? What? I thought out l67 engines are 240 stock?

 

[Bio248]

to the wheels.

240 crank, not to the wheels. A chassis dyno measures to the wheels not crank. There around 190 WHP stock. 220ish is pretty normal for a 3.4 setup

But torque is what your looking for.

 

[colindunn]

okay cool. yeah im mostly just looking at torque since that matters more. but otherwise my car runs great.

 

[txslow6]

Torque is probably somewhere around 230-250

Why does torque matter more?

 

[nawarkk]

Torque puts you back into your seat

Horsepower sells, torque wins races.

Torque is the moving force. That's why you want more of it.

damn dude your already running a 3.4 setup, you mean business huh?

Torque is created from horsepower. A high horsepower vehicle will always win in a race against a torque monster. But I see your point.

haha i guess. im liking it though. but i will probaby stop there since the next step to more power is gonna be expensive.

Hmmm, nice try...maybe at the mile mark.

dam dude i hope you're kidding

Basic physics. Torque makes HP not the other way around. It's pretty simple, you either make HP by having torque or by taking the Honda approach and spin everything stupid fast.

 

[blueguy]

And make no torque.
