i guess my point is that even the turbo vw has equalish hp and tq.
so, if you turbo a vr6 you get (still) almost equal hp and tq numbers.
if you turbo a b series vtec motor, you get the same gap...
for example...
the scc that had the four 400hp cars.
the teg had like 496hp, and muuuuuuuuuch lower tq.
the nissan had 475hp and alllllllllllllllooooooooootttttttt more tq than the teg...
see what i am sayin?
and i know that vtec is designed to have a "street"cam at low rpm, and an asskikker at high, but what i am saying is that you can raise redline w/ a lighter motor and still have equal tq, like the previous examples...
and on the focus svt...
i guess my pt is that the tq is really close to the hp, and really close the s2k number... thats all, so at least from take off it would be close, especially b/c the focus has it alot lower.
and the s2k has a tq number close to the lude, and a hp number way higher...
and the tq is lower!
if it is so tuned, it should have at least the tq of the prelude... especially b/c it kills it in hp...
i am NOT putting the s2k down at all, i am simply noting that other manufacturers keep tq and hp alot closer, thats all, and they are even uppin the redlines too... so both are possible...
