    Horsepower and Torque RPM Question

    If building a 393 stroker, does anything change? I know the engine will make monster torque from 0 RPM. Would my HP powerband still need to come on around the 2 - 3 K mark?

    Horsepower and Torque RPM Question

    What is the best RPM range that you would want your horsepower and torque powerband to fall between for a street driven car. I am trying to select a camshaft and intake manifold. I would think between 4,000 to 6,000 RPM. Hope this question makes sense!
