[QUOTE="d_daffron, post: 697075, member: 4983"] ^ see this is good info right here and its what I imagine alot of guys run. Combine mid 400hp numbers with low gears and better than average traction due to all the rubber on the ground and it feels like youre making 600hp min. Heck my ZJ buggy with a stock 318 4.88's and locked in low feels surprisingly stout but no way it breaks 250hp at the crank. What about these guys claiming and making these big power numbers. How are they getting the low end torque back? Does it just not matter that its a dog below 3,500rpm due to gearing and converter or is there a trick to make these big power numbers and still have some bottom end? Big power numbers arent that hard to make as llong as you can afford big cylinder head flow and a good valvetrain to support it, but seems like that'd turn the throttle into nothing more than an on off switch.
