Lets have two catergories...........Most HP or KW'S and the highest Torque figure (however that is measured)

:D

you can't really measure torque on a dyno as gearing can make a huge difference ,power figure will be the same eg same car same power first run with say 3.25 diff then same car with 3.7 gears the power figure will be the same but the torque figure with the 3.7 will be higher, remember the dyno reads from the wheels not the engine.
cheers chris.

What they cant measure torque? well there goes my chance.

Not 100 % sure but think she is standard other than inlet manifold, and a lumpy sound and rough idle, i put that down to the lazy cylinder on the left bank.
You can pick it at idle but once you get above 1000 rpm she is smooth( like all fords) that should stir up the GM folk;J

Looking at a Offy manifold with dual carters on ebay, high rise don't know if i want to go the whole hog on this car, i have a passion for getting a Galaxie and going to town on it.

So my torque should show reasonably big as I have 4.1 diff. :D

yes they do but it doesn't reflect a true reading unless you have the cars running the same diff ratios, if your going to compare
cheers chris dave you still have a chance

guys i spoke to steve we can put tacho gearing in the computor eg match car revs and car speed and the computor will compensate cars with lower gears ,cars with no tachos we will use a tacho timing light it will take a little longer but who cares.

Sounds good to me, I have a tacho so things should be easy.
