HP and Torque numbers
Well, I have seen a lot of inflated HP figures on the internet. Most are bolting on headers, exhaust, CAI and a chip and claiming 550-600 HP. The stock LQ4 should put out about 325 HP and 370 ft lbs of torque. I have much more than this on my engine, and I know I wont get these numbers.
I could have put out more top end HP, but I am not drag racing it. I decided to make it a torque monster with the cam grind and intake. If I went to a more radical cam and different intake, I am sure it would be around 550 HP at 6200 RPM or so. With my cam grind and intake, I am looking at 480 Hp at 6000 RPM and 450+ ft lbs of torque at 5000 rpm.This is just a SWAG, we will see what it really does on a dyno. It will make great power from 1500-5000 RPM, and have more low end torque and more HP at lower RPMs than the drag/street racing motors.
Sorry for the long speech, but I wanted to explain why the HP numbers are not as high as most claim...
