[QUOTE]Originally posted by Chadwick: [QB] My RX-7 has ASS for low end torque when compared with cars of the same peak horsepower. But it is also light and well balanced. After tuning my AFC I know my car has peak horsepower of over 200 at the flywheel. It weights just over 2800lbs soaking wet. Torque is what makes the car feal fast right of the line but in upper RPM range it's horsepower that gives a real feeling of speed. AKA how badly does the torque curve fall off. This was my car stock: 160 HP @ 7000 RPM w/ 140 Ft/lb @ 4000 RPM i'll let you know tommorow where it is at now exactly. I am very confident it can output over 200 with the modifications i have made. But i can tell ya it pulls harder and harder as it gets up there in RPMs. Above it's peak torque at 4000-4500 rpms it keeps pulling harder and harder all the way into redline. Torque isn't everything unless you are only judging its 0-45mph feal of acceleration. My only chance in "drag racing" any one is to dump the clutch at about 4500-6000 rpms and hope the tires grab as quickly as possible. Then make sure to shift just above 8000 (into redline). In a 1/4mile race I shuld never get past 2nd gear. Not something i like to do because i have no desire to be rebuilding the transmission every year. The car is a dog below 4000 rpms. [/QB][/QUOTE]
