Dimman, why is it exactly that you think this motor should have 160+ lb ft of torque?

Is it solely based on the beams output?

I was looking at K20A motors, which have a more aggressive cam profile on the high lift, and VTC as well, and they are only 150 lb ft, and usually only 130 wtq on a dynopak.

I believe 150 lb ft is in line with the best of them. Even the F20C has 153 lb ft, and it has a superior factory ported head and amazingly aggressive cam profiles.

In looking at motors across the spectrum, the beams is the only one with high torque numbers. I think they are falsely reported, or inflated numbers from the factory.

EDIT: Found the discussion on pages 20-25.

Compression should add torque, but I think that the 151 is on-par.

I'm thinking this motor will respond well to a nice set of cams however.
