Torque = Driveability ? (Engine Masters LSA shootout)
Never said you didn’t know.
But it’s a preference thing.
Does your wife grab the keys to go to the grocery store ( old timey word..lol) or take the kids to school ? Or drive 200+ miles in it . I do use my barracuda like that so my preference is for a smooth idle and butt loads of torque.
No, but she CAN drive it anywhere.
I drive it everywhere except for 200 mile trips.
My point is driveability is TUNING. If I posted my combo most guys would say it isn’t driveable because I’ve heard it a million times.
It idles clean, stays at not hotter than 170 on 100 plus degree days and thats only at stop lights and runs on pump gas at 11.5:1.
If my cam shows up this week I COULD be on the dyno in less than a month unless I get bogged down on pushrods.
It will have a tunnel ram this time, with two 830’s and it will be 12.2x on pump gas. I can’t remember the second digit.
And it will drive better than the last engine.
It CAN idle as low as 700 but I don’t let it get below 950 and would rather it’s 1k.
I certainly could change the gears and take it on a 200 mile drive. I don’t see it happening but I could do it.
