Torque = Driveability ? (Engine Masters LSA shootout)

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.
When you say "pump gas" can you give an octane level? I believe you. I'm just curious. There is a guy over on The Hamb who has a 13.5:1 392 Hemi and claims to run on pump gas. He got beaten to death about it, but I believe him. It's just the way he talked about it and talked about tuning and so forth. Thanks.
