Stoker kit, roots blower, small turbochargers, bigger engine, stuff like that if you want a huge slab of low-end torque.

Long tube headers, aluminum heads with small ports like the performers, cams that work lower down as opposed to higher up.

They don't add anything on paper but the torque-o-meter next to the seat-o-your-pants meter will tell you other wise! Come down friday and I'll show you

That is true, what the gears do is allow you to hit your powerband faster. But yes like steel1212 stated they will freaking kick you in pants, it basically feels like torque.

Gears do add torque, they're basically torque multipliers.

Correct, so long as we are talking about what is important here... Rear Wheel Torque figures.

Oh and for me, I use all 357 cubic inches with the smaller ported Aussie heads, and a nice wet shot of our friend Nitrous Oxide. With a set of 4.11's and 26 inch tires, it's enough to make my Hoosiers lose it.

Tell us your set up and we can help. It's hard to tell you what direction to go when we don't know where you are.

Stroker kit.........but sometimes you can get too much. If I could get the traction I could out pull my F250 Super Duty Diesel truck.
