[QUOTE="Juiced46, post: 8427645, member: 11519"] So what if the car makes more HP then TQ. Since when is 600-700ftlbs with 15-18#s such a bad thing?? A KB/Whipple wont do that. The only reason KBs and Whipples make more TQ then HP is when the blower is reaching its efficiency limit and it cant make more HP but it will pick up TQ because its being overspun. Look at a KB with 13#s it will make more HP then TQ. I built a 78mm car .96 ex housing, ported heads/cams and it made 865rwhp 834rwtq on 22psi what is so bad about the TQ? I can see if the TQ was 600ftlbs, then yea there is a problem. Its just like a pullied eaton car. You slap a 2.76 on it and it will make around 470/470, add a 4# lower, you may gain 10hp but pickup probably another 50 ftlbs because you are past its efficiency. You will see that with a turbo to. The more you lean on it, the more you will see the TQ come up and HP not when you start reaching its limit. [/QUOTE]
