In Reply To	yea but it has a flat torque curve which is more important (n/m) posted by MikeH(Phoenix) on June 15, 2001 at 09:39 AM
Message	torque is what makes a car quick. sure a viper makes "only 400rwhp" stock but that ~450lb/ft of torque gets that bad boy to 60 in a tick or two over 4 sec. plus the engine is totally unstressed making those numbers. the beauty of a big block is its simplicity combined with effortless low rpm thrust. 1990 Twin Turbo 5spd "BPU+" No Show,All GO 1999 Maxima SE 5spd ECZA member #0314 ..."If it doesnt make it faster, I dont care"...yellowZXTT
