just wondering what i can do to gain top end torque, it seems like my ZC is lacking a bit now up past 5500, also i need a bit more low end, mid range feels great tho, any ideas on what i can do to gain more?

cams will do that for sure!! Get a mild grind cam, not too agressive, cause you will lose too much low end torque.

what kind of cam would you recommend?
and for pulleys would it just be an aftermarket underdrive pulley?

if you have the money; bore it out. it will increase power/torque throughout the powerband.

Smartass you know what i mean. And if you don't I'll re-phrase it. Our engines in our honda's are high revving inline-4's...not really the best combo for torque, lol.
