I may be WAAAAYYYYYY wrong on this, I'm not tech by any means, but I would guess that you can't really get more torque than HP, when you consider the fact our enine is small, and HP is what generates torque...You have to have the HP to make the torque, so to me logic would suggest that the torque(At least in our cars) cannot surpass the HP.
Again, I may be wrong, but just thought I'd put it out there

I really wouldnt worry about it, torque is never going to be in short supply with this car
even stock 1st gear is basically useless, when you start modding 2nd will be as well

this is extremely wrong. Hp is generated by Torque through a math problem.
"Horsepower is a unit of power. It can be defined in many ways. In its basic sense, it's defined as work done in a straight line as described above under "Power". But when the work is not done in a straight line, it must be defined in a different way: torque.
Horsepower = (Torque X RPM) / 5252
Now although horsepower in this instance is defined by rotational forces, it is no different than straight-line horsepower. For instance, if you wrapped a rope around the circle and allowed the torque to pull the rope, the force on the rope would now be exactly as defined above."

well i'm planning on the Dual Pass end plate.. then my TB Swap.. after maybe of month of testing that out with the stock puley... my 2.6" is going on.. i already have it here so i just need the install with my meth injection kit with the dual pass..

ty, i sometimes forget that there are a few people on this site that actually know what they are talking about. Instead of all the nameless idiots spewing out crap they heard in F&F.
With torque the power curve is more important than the peak number. And usually the best way for more torque is more air or to get the air moving faster through the engine.

It is IMPOSSIBLE to have more torque than hp.............so, to the Original Poster....................good luck with that.

It's impossible to have more torque and hp? I think LT1s would beg to differ... or l98s... or most gm v8s

just an FYI the F35 trans is rated at 298 FT pounds of torque. or **** if you got the loot get your gears cryoed and go for those high numbers. Also I think the 2.0 L cobalt that hahn did made 420 hp and only 299 torque

Um, if your torque peaks before 5252 rpm, then it's entirely possible to have more torque than horsepower. Perfect example - my old Grand Am. 155hp and 185 tq. Why? Because it peaked at like 4000 rpm and fell flat on its face.

motortrend is wrong, or you read it incorrectly. there's loads of cars that can be named that make more torque than hp

lol ya you can make more tq then hp or vis-versa, its all based on that equation though. it depends on where you make the power, most v8s dont rev to 7-8k, thats why they have more tq
