It's only a "narrow" power curve if all you do is compare the HP peak RPM with the torque peak RPM. If you look at where the torque is > 550 lb-ft, the answer is "almost everywhere".

I think the HP NA is maxed w/ the unported heads; if you port the heads, the next restriction is that intake. If you always spray it to your horsepower goal, I don't see the point in changing what you have now.

Does that car have to pass tech to race where you do? I don't see much there that says you do...


It has a battery hold down, two throttle springs and I tossed the Yosemite Sam floor mats when we got the car.

Are they supposed to be checking for something else?

Thanks for sharing your thoughts on the hp/tq. Good food for thought!
