    500 dollar terminator supercharger

    Does that include the cost of a painted aftermarket cowl hood required for the tork tech kit for clearance?

    D-1SC installed!

    It shuts off the fuel injectors, not spark.

    F = ma (definition) a = F/m F=eTq/r (definition) eTq=Hp/rpm (definition) a = Hp/(rpm*r*m) rpm*r = v (definition) a = Hp/(v*m) (acceleration is a function of vehicle speed, mass, and hp only!) m = vehicle mass Hp = horsepower eTq = engine torque F = thrust force at wheels r = factor...

    Both would have to weigh the same for the comparison to be meaningful. The point is that the question can't be answered without knowing what the hp is for each engine.

    Here is something else for you to chew on. With the right gear ratios, a 500 ft-lb tq engine can put the same tq to the wheels as a 100 ft-lb engine. Do they both accelerate through a 1/4 mile the same? Maybe they do... Maybe they don't. You don't know without knowing the hp curve.

    Good point. Agreed!

    You know what grinds my gears?

    Let's keep the myths to ourselves. You can measure hp. You would know that if you read ALL of the link I posted. What I dare you to do is to prove me wrong with science. Show me an equation that proves your point(s). I've given enough already.

    One more thing... Both tq and hp can move things. BUT, hp will tell you how fast you can do it (time) and at what speeds. Tq wont do either without knowing more information (such as rpm) which would actually define hp. If you dont care about your ET or mph in the quarter, fine. The rest of us...

    Read the whole thing before you respond. And again... I DARE YOU to do what I asked in post 69.

    Would you buy an engine without knowing what its hp curve is? You cant measure an engines performance without knowing it's hp. Show me a calculation that shows an engines ability to accelerate a given weight through a 1/4 mile in a given time that only considers torque (and not engine...

    should i remove my cats?

    What about weight? It's something to consider. Also, it wont sound bad with the right mufflers. There aren't really any bolt-ons that add tons of power so to say that removing the cats isn't a good idea because you wont gain that much doesn't make much sence. With that argument, the only mods...

    4.10 gears will make you accelerate faster in any given gear, but your top speed in that gear will be less than if you had stock 3.27 gears. No one said gears increase hp. Shift to maintain max hp output, and I think you will find that you are maintaining max wheel tq. Hp is not a...

    Can the transmission be removed from the bellhousing with the longtubes in place or do the long tubes get in the way? I understand that some transmissions cant be removed from their bell housings from the outside, but my t56 can. Interesting... any other changes?

    ok another noob question

    Not flat tops, but close. Some 4v engines have flat tops.

    They are two independent variables. Max tq and max hp are almost never at the same engine speed. When do you shift, to maintain peak hp or tq? Think about it. If you shift to maintain peak ENGINE tq, you are now in a gear with less mechanical advantage, less wheel tq, less acceleration.

    All true, except for one thing. Tq can be manipulated by gearing. Knowing that Tq is the only thing that will increase acceleration (except for lowing mass), one could just use larger and larger gear ratios to get more acceleration. The problem with this is what I was getting at above. More...
