273/4 -318 debate
As a streeter
Here is my favorite comparison. Both geared with 3.23s and 904s what happens when you floor it at 25 mph or so, and the trans downshifts. This comes to about 2700 rpm. I know which one I would want.
If you stop the race at 40/45 as is often done in a 35zone, they have both reached peak power..... but the 318 has put down significantly more average power during the trip. I know which one I would want.
And my favorite; check out the difference at say 2250 Rpm, the typical; stall one might choose. That is around 125 ftlbs/50hp difference right there. The little 273 is gonna need a lotta TM to make up for that. Of course if the 318 lights up the tires well, that's that then,lol. But there are solutions for tirespin. Not much for the 273 torque at 2250,lol.
HANG ON this does not compute!!
Wait, I think there is something wrong with the calibrations....the lines should cross at 5250.
And how many 318-2s make 460 ftlbs
And if they did that at 2750 the HP would be 240....... not 180ish
I'm confused,lol
