This is what I want to hear Smile Especially if this torque is produced in
the low to medium rpm range... say, 2500 to 5000 rpm. Jango, can
you be a bit more specific about when you noticed more torque ?? For
example, did your 4th and 5th gear acceleration improve ??

Quote:... but money to power ratio is low.
True. I have had a response from HKS saying that they recorded a
typical increase of 8 PS above stock (and I don't know if that is at the
wheels or at the flywheel). But, every little bit helps Smile

What I am hoping to achieve is a long, smooth torque curve. Peak
power is of no particular interest, as that's only good for bragging rights
in the bar :wink: I want my car to punch out of corners in 3rd gear,
and accelerate strongly from 3000 rpm to 7000 rpm Tongue

Only time will tell if such a thing is possible.

Cheers... jondee86
