Proving Torque is BETTER Than Horsepower
.
Let's define torque. Torque is a measure of rotational force, or how much force an object can exert on another object to cause it to rotate. It is typically measured in pound-feet (lb-ft) or newton-meters (Nm). Torque is often described as the "twisting force" of an engine and is responsible for a vehicle's low-end power…

Should You Stroke It?
.
Stroking an engine gives not only add displacement but it also gives the engine an increased vertical draw while pulling and pushing air. Today we take a look at a little known stroker setup using the Pontiac 350 to bore and stroke it out to a Pontiac 400 competitor – the Pontiac 407 stroker. Parts…

Does Intake Runner Length Matter?
.
The runner length is one of the most important factors when building an engine, it can completely change the way an engine applies power and moves through the RPM band. Today we look at how runner length changes your horsepower and torque curve. For the example we are using a factory TPI system against a…
