because of the stock turbos and stock manifolds (albeit, they are hogged out and welded back together) and stock cams, the engine can't breathe up high. If you were able to breathe better, and torque could hold on a bit longer, the HP numbers would be much higher. This is a theoretical, if not almost impossible to achieve scenario, but here's what it would look like, using the basic formula. RPM: 5000 6000 7000 8000 (torque would NOT be flat at 8000 rpm)
TQ: 360 360 360 320
HP: 342 411 479 487
_MWS Disclaimer: Some people have confused myself, Michael Smith of MWS
Motorsports with Mike Smith of MS Performance / Jim Wolf Technologies,
featured in Mike Kojima's Sport Compact Car magazine Project Z articles.
While the comparison is flattering, it is important to make the distinction.
Please help spread the word by always try to refer to each "Mike Smith" by
their respective companies. |
