getting the FI itch

[Ferzerp]

Nah. FI 400 WHP > NA 400 WHP. FI will have a broader curve and be geared to take advantage of it.

The obvious solution is turn NA 400 WHP into FI 800 WHP :awe:

Look up the torque curve for the dodge 392 engine (not the crate engine, but the stock engine for the SRT8s)

As I said earlier, $16k turns in in to a 650-700 bhp, 700-750 tq drivetrain.

Sure there are open roads, and if you wanted to, you could hit 130mph in an econobox as well as a sports car. You don't need 400hp to drive fast. That's my point.

I've had everything from an S-10, Mazdaspeed, Corvette and now a CTS-V and I can say without a doubt that I enjoy more over less power. It's not all about 130mph as that is very simple to reach in 12 seconds. It's being able to rocket out of a turn or hit the throttle in 6th gear on the freeway and easily pass other cars. It's also the ability to control something that is more than you need.

I find that the little punk in a 160 HP ecconobox asking why you need 400+ HP would be the first person to antagonize and "put you in your place" when you roll up in a 100 HP car... then whines that nobody needs more than 160 HP when you roll up in a 700 HP car... go figure.

Why do you need a porterhouse when you can get the same protein out of a can of beans?
