I heard you love getting F'ed in the A!!!!!!!!!!!Badstang00 said:You can't argue with stainless steel and that awesome sound either, especially for the price. SLP can go get F'ed in the A!!

as stated many times before displacement helps. Big block motors ususal have tons of torque and lazy with the HP at times.cold96snake said:Why is it that the 5.0's all got such high Tq #'s in relation to their hp? That asian guy (JONJON)at the other dyno day had hp about 10 under mine but his tourque was way above mine at 290 something also. I think that I understand the principles of torque vs. hp, but I don't get how they could be that far apart (over 100 for Brian).

If the other Mike picked up 20 rwhp w/ his x pipe, maybe that will be my next mod instead of the shifter.
Back to the topic of hp vs. tq . Is my basic understanding of it correct? Torque measures the amount of power there is to turn the wheels and hp measures the amount of power produced over time. In other words if a car has high torque #'s it will accelerate quickly but reach it's peak quickly also, and if a car has a lower tq # but a high hp # it will accelerate a little slower but for a longer period of time and peak at a higher speed? I know there is more to it, but simply put is that right? Also, isn't torque less affected by the amount of weight it's pushing?
I feel like such a dummy.

Where in CT you located? I got friends/family all over central CT.ironheart1 said:Horsepower vs Torque is a funny thing, really. I don't quite understand it save for this explanation: Horsepower is a measure of the energy your engine produces while torque is a measure of the force your engine produces. I don't think that how long you're producing power for depends on your horsepower so much as your setup and your stroke.
Which, from what I've seen, is only slightly higher than their hp #'s. So i guess i'm stillCRASH7772 said:From the dyno shop we went to they were putting down 350tq and 360hp.

He also put on a Cat back at the same time so he picked up that 20hp from a combo of both catback and h-pipe
Don't get me wrong, I believed you. That was the basis for my initial question. If it was just displacement, then the ZO6's would be putting a lot higher tq #'s down. So that makes meCRASH7772 said:

OK, that what I thought. I'm not the dummy I sometimes think I am.FEARNO1 said:Simply defined, horsepower is the rate of doing work over a given amount of time. According to experts from SAE, one horsepower (1 HP) equals 550 ft-lb. per second or 33,000 ft-lb. per minute. Another familiar formula is the one which states RPM x Torque / 5252 = horsepower
Torque is the measurement of the strength of the rotational movement and determines how fast a car, boat, or airplane accelerates up to a required speed
