just shooting the breeze here...
what would it require to reach N/A 200+ lbs of rwtq on a 200ci and log head?
what makes more torque? (some guestimates)
short duration cam probably in the 254 range??
high lift up to .495, more if possible
long piston stroke
closer lobe centers
CR??
what are the benefits of more torque?
increase of mpg on the freeway
off the line
easier traffic passing, in the 35-60mph traffic
low rpm operation allows higher (numerically lower) gears to improve mroe economy if casually driving
i6 has the wonderful torque curve though the entire rpm range...
spinning tires (smiles, and more tire cost)
enough torque lifts the front tires 8)
What else is really into making so much torque, what could the log head 200ci really acheive in max torque area? could more torque naturally increase hp? what pistons to use for more torque (dished domed flat)? what happens to the HP as the torque increases? after the peak torque is acheived, what would adding the alum head do? and what's the max NA torque the alum head can reach if focused toward torque?
Again just shooting the breeze here for the 200ci, I know the 250 could produce more torque easier but wanna know what thoughts are out there for the N/A 200ci
I know turbo makes torque, but just haven't seen any posts dedicated to N/A torque.. Thanks in advance.
