Re: Going to the dark side

PG,

Most people dont think of it this way but a N20 hit is instant tq. A 400hp hit at the crank is a lot of TQ as it is 400hp regardless of rpm.

Think of it this way, my verter NA flashes to 4,600 rpm.
My hit is +/- 350rwhp. (20% loss makes that 437hp at the crank)
437hp × 5,252 ÷ 4,600rpm = 498ftlbs

Now I make 400rwtq at 4,600rpm NA (500ftlbs at the crank if you figure 20% loss).

That's roughly 1,000ftlbs at the crank at 4,600rpm. No wonder my verter flashes to 6,300rpm on the big tune up... And yes, I am spraying this 350rwhp hit out of the hole.


I understand what your are saying, and I know my verter is too loose for my current combo (I recently bought a new one and it is still too loose), but I don't think a 598" motor will make more tq NA than my current 418 on a 350rwhp hit (RPM dependant).


I will however be pleasantly surprised if the 598" motor goes faster than 8.8x NA.
