Haha thats a good one

hang out with me and my friends when any type of work or power mods are being done on Jetski's, boats, and cars.

the "friends" come over.. beer starts flowing , and the sarchasm starts flying, we found out through the years that sarchasm fixes everything..

Unless you are trying to describe the great width of the cutting remark by spelling it sar-chasm

I am learning so much from following this thread. ("sarchasm"? You decide)

Bad Boss 302

V-TEC = Virtually Torque-less Economy Car

ford4v429

when I first got my 06, the only complaint was it too felt wimpy below 2500 rpm, and realy not strong below 4000...kinda like my old quadracer, fast as heck once its in its powerband, but nothing below...I drove a buddies 08 gt500, was really shocked at the lack of bottom end, didnt feel much different than my car till 3000, but then at 4000 WOW.

I think a big thing Ford is missing is chasing horsepower numbers...at the racetrack, hp is king, but in 99.9% of our DD cars lives, they rarely exceed 3k... IF they would build a oversquare torque monster with 450-500 ftlb off idle, and even a torque LOSS at a paltry 4000 rpm redline, it would feel more powerful - except at the racetrack.

Anyone thats ever driven a old bigblock can relate to that silky smooth earth moving effortless torque they put out as soon as you touched the gas. back in '82 I had a 81 dodge pickup that I put a 69 396 chevy in (only 9:1), perfect truck motor...if you so much as pushed the gas pedal 1/8" quickly, you were spinning...that was only abut a 300 hp motor, but it felt infinitely more powerful than my mustang- even though I bet at the track the truck woulda been a 16 second vehicle.
My first car was a boat of a 69 galaxie, 429-4v police motor, 'only' 360 hp, BUT 480 ftlb just off idle- and that old 11:1 429 would rev like a smallblock with its relatively short 3.59 stroke...to this day, still overall the strongest car Ive ever driven.
torkiest thing i was ever in was a buddies 455 olds powered 77 transam- was 10:1, single 4 barrel with a towing/rv type cam, 3.73 gears w/n50-15 tires...pulled like a friggin diesel- I mean the old off idle neck snapping, painful acceleration...but his cam ran out of breath at about 5k...hp was probably ~400, but I bet that long stroke 455 put out over 600 ftlb off idle

miss that massive torque of those old bigblocks...just imagine what a old 429 could do with todays EFI systems...my long term dream is stil to find out- still have the old 429 from the galaxie, someday to go in my 69 fastback, hopefully with a 2005 mustang PCM and support hardware.
dream on

If low-end torque is what we're after, we should all be driving performance diesels like the BMW 335d. Ungodly amounts of torque and 40+ MPG.
