quench vs no quench?

I kinda thought you needed them both. 1,000 horsepower with 0 torque would be kinda useless in the 1/4 mile, but maybe good on the salt flats...?

You do need both. But 425 HP with 800 lb-ft of torque will NEVER be as fast as 600 HP with 450 lb-ft of torque.

I laugh when I see dyno numbers where an engine is making 550 TQ and 415 HP. It my make you THINK you are fast but in the real world........

And FWIW...quench is OVERRATED. If it's less than .060 or so, and you're not trying to run down Jason Line for the money, spend your time and money somewhere else.
