Based on this data, it seems like there is 30hp extra untapped waiting, which is without increasing the boost and increasing the failure risk. Thank you, @ CSG Mike! |
If it is more torque via more area under the curve, but without more peak torque then I would agree, but it is not. Even then, low end torque can be worse on this platform. It doesn’t matter if the Ace does it with less heat and less restrictions, torque is what breaks rods. There might be less chances of preignition/detonation with the Ace header, but torque is torque.
