[QUOTE="isrboss, post: 13515397, member: 143205"] I think we all know what the benefits of tq vs hp is. Saying "I made 420ft/lbs of torque" in itself is open ended, was it peaky or flat and usable. I don't go from a hit, on a road course you should already be carrying momentum. Given a nice straight I think we all can assume a high hp motor is going to make up for a hit. Best example I can think of is at Sebring, I met a great guy with a 2003 Cobra putting high 400's hp to the ground, and I'm sure the tq was right there as well. He was doing track days longer than me(both of us solo), and was telling me some cool on track stories of the past. We were both on street tires, and all I had done to the Boss was TK and K&N drop in with coilovers. I had no problems going by him making less tq and hp. He was trying hard to stay with me and that tq bit him coming out of the hairpin and he spun. He also asked me what the Boss had that made it so fast down the straights. There were multiple Boss and 11+ GT's out there, and he said the Boss' drove by him so easy. After I told him the Boss has 3.73's he felt that was making a huge difference.
