More Torque than HP?
Ok,
I just had a head/cam package installed. As I look thru all the Sig's, I notice that everyone who have a head & cam package has more hp than torque. I just wonder if my tune is ok? I know that torque wins races & I am not complaining about the power(I don't get traction until 3rd with an A-4). I am just curious.
I can't post my dyno sheet because my scanner is on the fritz. See my sig.
I plan on taking it to the track come spring time To see what it will do? I was told that with slicks, I should do mid-low 11's if driven right. My tuner is going to let me borrow his slicks. He has 640+ RWHP on E85 all motor.
I also have a LS6 intake, 30# injectors, 3.42 gears, long tubes, P/P throttle body & MAS, pacecar catbacks & no cats. Stock A-4 no stall.
Thanks for the answering my stupid questions. I am kinda new to hp mods.
BTW,
Here is a vid of what the cam sounds like. There is NO sarcasm on this vid.......I swear.......

interesting, what's your compression ratio? most cammed engines w/ a bigger bore than stroke do produce more hp than tq...I predict mid 11's, only b/c you have stock stall...be sure and post your results from the strip, good luck!

Possibly a spike. If the converter wasnt locked it would spike. Post up a graph!
