Now that I will certainly agree with! A broken car is a no fun car. I'll be happy with my "slow" car because it seems like all the high HP cars are broken most of the time, or the guys are afraid to drive them hard because they break a lot of stuff and that doesn't seem fun at all. But man, when they are going fast it's fun as hell! I'll just enjoy it vicariously through my friends and enjoy my slow car running every time I want to drive it. lol.

It really is the truth. I love watching them but they do break. ALOT. I think the coyote would be happy at about 550. The rousch charger delivers just about that number. In the end it seems to be chasing your tail. You get beat you make your car faster then beat him. Then another car beats you and there you go again. it's true though you get used to power. Sometimes I drive mine and think something has broke just because it doesn't feel as quick.

Whats best way to get torque number numbers up on boss intake. My car made 440rwhp and 378tq on sae numbers. Id like more torque

**Dominic Toretto** · 07-18-2013, 08:18 AM

As far as the conversation about torque, these cars do make more torque than most Ferraris. I wouldn't worry about torque so much as horsepower.

Anyone checked out this manifold? Claims to not lose any torque as the BOSS intake does. http://www.lethalperformance.com/201...-manifold.html

That intake is designed for 8000rpm shifts. Doesnt lose anymore torque than boss and increases high rpm power. Alot of extra spending me make it work. Alot of people claim makes awesome power 5000 rpms and up

I barely see those rpm ranges in my driving lol.

Add boost/nitrous. lol.

The Boss intake was designed for the high revving Roadrunner motor in the Boss that was meant for the road course racing moving the powerband upwards.

Haha wish I could afford either on lol. Yea there designed for road course and high rpm pulling. I was just wondering if there simple mods to help boost tq numbers

Longtubes and more gear are a good way to add torque.

I have jba 1 7/8 long tubes already installed with catted x pipe

"Horsepower is what you read about, torque is what you feel."

"Torque gets you moving quickly, horsepower keeps you moving more quickly."

Both these old saws are true. You like that feeling you get when you're pushed back in your seat? That's torque. You like the feeling that the car just keeps going faster and faster? That's horsepower.

The Coyote is an OHC engine and as a rule of thumb they don't produce the same type torque level compared to horsepower that a big OHV engine will.

440hp is very nice for an NA car with no internal work, good job. 370+ torque at the wheels is an improvement over stock as well and they punch pretty well stock. That's like an a near 100hp increase over stock. So I am sure, you definitely notice that your car is much faster now regardless of the not as huge torque increase right?
