Torque

[cobradad]

This is probly a dumb question but what mods can you do that gives you alot of torque? I plan on getting the heads from thumper with the small valves because i know that give you good low end power but what else will give me a noticeable increase in torque? I need some because i autocross on the weekends.
Thanks

More cubic inches .

Yup, displacement is about the best way to do it....that or a power adder.

That is what i was thinking to. I just dont have the money for that right now. Plus this is my daily driver.

Gear change it's kinda like fake torque.

Very nice website. Iam looking into buying my friends 240z because of gas prices and if so a turbo will be the first thing i do. I like the turbo better then a supercharger.

Yep.....that would fall under power-adder

Any street-oriented parts are tuned to give a lot more torque.. like a quarter race cam, street upper and lower intake, will all give you useable power.. definately get gears first before anything.

if you want real down low torque...get some gears and a kenne bell. full boost by 2100 rpm....next step will certainly be a quest for traction. good luck

Gears gears gears. 3.73's or lower put you in neck snapping zone, even on a stocker.

That would work.

If you don't want to go with something as extreme as a blower a cheaper alternative that might help you pick up a little horsepower and torque at all RPM would be a set of U/D pulleys. Every little bit helps and for under $100.00....it's tough to beat.

If superchargers are out of the picture.....there's no replacement for displacement.

You can go as big as 347 in a stock block, though I would only go as big a 331. Both would add noticeable low end improvments and still allow daily driver capability.

I heard LT headers give some nice low torque, correct me if i'm wrong

Weight reduction.


It wont add torque but it will feel like you did.
