What would it take to make 1.44 lbs-ft per cid ?

I've never heard a racer or builder say "this engine is down on torque so I'm going to go make more torque to go faster".
Until you hear Bruce complain a track is **** and he can't get traction because he's making too much torque.

"In the case of our drag car we use VP fuels C14+ We have tried others with different distillation and oxygenation etc but they create other tuning issues. I have never maxed out the capabilities of the C14+ and changing to other fuel characteristics just mucks up my knowledge base.
I don't get the testing necessary to fully optimize the power of the engine and when I do increase it the car just spins the wheels more all the way down the track so there is no point. The track at Sydney is rubbish its got slippery blocks of concrete, no rubber laydown, no stick, the car runs 8mph faster at Willowbank"
