How much power?

Hey no need to resort to personal attacks here.

Nobody is saying the ej255 doesn't make more torque down low than the ej205. What we're saying is that HP is a function of Torque. You can't escape the mathematical relationship between torque and HP. If an engine produces more torque at a specific engine speed, it also produces more HP at the speed. Take a look at some dyno charts for the ej255 and ej205 and show me that the formula doesn't hold true.

Mostly people that couldn't drive...
