I cant comprehend on why these days its all about the HP. Dont get me wrong, I love the 590 my 429 is putting out, but if it wasnt for the 720 some odd TQ, it wouldnt move my turd. You can pick up a relativly cheap 390/428/429/460 from the late 60s early early 70s and it have 345hp stock with 490TQ! You spend $1000 and put it in you're little Mustang with a 200 shot of nitrous and you wouldnt care about having 350hp, you would be hooked on the tq if the car hooks! HP doesnt move a car, otherwise Honda's would be faster. Its all about the TORQUE!
+1,000,000! Our little 302's stock put normally under 200 to the wheels stock... But the torque they have at a relatively low RPM is what makes them so much fun to beat on and drive!
