Let's Talk Dyno Graphs, Anyone Want "Flat Torque" ?!
I know there's been a "wee bit" written on the subject but I'd like to talk about the differences in torque curves between a stock motor, a h/c, stroker motor etc....
Guess I need to know if there's a difference between a "bored out" stock motor and an all new block 427 engine...... :confused:
What got me thinking (besides dreaming about a Lingenfelter 427 TT) was how happy I was with my dyno yesterday :D
......but when I get looking at MattGs graph, the torque #s really impress me :eek: :cool: :D
at 3500 rpms, he's got a full 100 rwtq on me :eek: :D
don't know really what my question is, but down the road a little, I'd really like to start looking at a motor upgrade, I wanna do it right the 1st time....and I need to start the fund now :smash:
so talk to me about flat torque graphs, not just peak #s ;)....with regards to h/c, strokers, bored, etc.....:cheers:

DRM 427 C5R :D
You will never get as flat torque curve with a H/C engine. I do not know about all bore engines.
[EDIT]
To avoid any misunderstandings, the graph is from a engine dyno nothing else.

I wanna try and get into the 11s with headers, gears and intake....then we'll see :D
