Boss intake kills the tq. You can do an aftermarket TB and porting of the boss intake runners to pick the tq loss back up.

and that's what i figured was the culprit.

but now lets look at this, and Midnight11 I will use your car for comparison as you have all your mods and hp/tq numbers in your sig.

Your car (assuming the numbers are current) makes 19 more peak hp than my car, but my car makes 28 more peak tq.

Our cars are daily driven street cars, not race cars. I would think as heavy as our cars are that torque would be sought after.

I don't post on here much so I don't know how sensitive folks are, so let me re-iterate this is not an attack on Midnight11's car, I was just using it for illustration purposes.

Dude attack away. You can say it his car is a slow turd. Lol

But the gearing in the tranny makes up for that especially in first gear. When I did that I made almost the same numbers the car stilled launch pretty hard plus I was able to rev the engine 700 rpms higher for more horsepower where the stock manifold starts dropping off around 6800 rpms.
