[QUOTE="prozac, post: 712207, member: 1726"] Therein lies the myth about torque. Beyond a certain rev (5252 ?), we don't really need much torque to produce lots of horsepower. In layman terms; a guy hitting a hammer 10 times a second is releasing as much energy as a guy twice as strong hitting the hammer 5 times a second. Both can get the nail in with the same amount of time. One has strength and the other has frequency to compensate. This analogy is akin to the 4G93T vs. B16B and only applicable to a level playing field without RM10k mods. And when I mention power, we should be take into account power to weight ratio, instead of outright WHP. Also, shorter gearing helps the car become "lighter" as far as the engine is concerned.
