Engines with lack bottom end power?

And you just made my answer for me. It’s a combo of the smaller cam and dual plane.

I told you that you been told and the answer was already given before and yet…. You counter otherwise but yet find the above reply you left behind…. As the answer to the issue.

The info is in your head! You have seen it here before and read the magazine articles detailing this issue. It amazed me you asked but….. that’s better than not asking.

My question has nothing to do my cars gearing stall etc..

I was looking over 318 builds for another thread, the guy was really worried about bottom end torque, conventional wisdom on here bigger cams heads etc.. gonna kill low end torque especially with a 318 and make a soft gutless dog of a car even with gears and stall daily driving will be a hassle etc... That's told over and over again.

So I was looking over the dyno numbers of 7 318 builds one stock 2bbl and one is a 282hp and 5 from 400hp to 477hp, other than the stock 2bbl none of them made terrible low torque numbers even as low as 2500 rpm. The 425 hp and 477 hp actually made the best low end number, Same with the crate 380hp ties the 300hp at 2500 rpm and beat every point above. This seems to contradict conventional wisdom, is why I'm asking and trying figure out the reason, if that doesn't interest you that's fine you don't have to play.
