How the hell do you figure 370tq at the wheels with an LS?
My hatch was 2.0L and it was 398whp/294tq... it was a 2.0L LS Block with a GSR head.
Aren't you gonna have to change the RS ratio to make 400whp safely in a LS? Doing that will lower the TQ # since the stroke will be shorter. I don't think I've ever seen a 400/370 dyno on a Honda, ever..
If you have the dyno of those type of #'s, post it.
