Best Kept Secret in the Big Block Mopar World

That’s ridiculous. Why would you limit HP with a weeny bore? ALL Chrysler big blocks are cylinder head limited. And you suggest to limit the head even more with a small bore. No thanks. Torque is the fools errand. Give me horsepower any day of the week.

"Torque is a fool's errand."

Where do you think horsepower comes from?

Mathematically, horsepower equals torque multiplied by rpm. H = T x rpm/5252, where H is horsepower, T is pound-feet, rpm is how fast the engine is spinning, and 5252 is a constant that makes the units jibe. So, to make more power an engine needs to generate more torque, operate at higher rpm, or both.Apr 15, 2016
