Sixpack on a 318 engine ?

Okay what about two different motors that make the same power? Wouldn't the one with more torque, a LOT more torque, be quicker?
Enginemmasters compared a 372 cu in, small chevy with 500 hp to a 500hp 454.
I'd bet my house on the 454 being quicker at the same weight,...... with more than 120 more ft/lbs of torque.


You'd have the RPM of each engine to know.

In the example above the 302 has more RPM and can use more gear.

Just line rock crushes scissors, gears crush torque.
