Ok, nothing of consensus reached, but interesting getting the different view points. Glad some view torque as I do, I suppose there will always be a divided opinion on this.


Final thoughts, those believing we should have addressed this at the "power" level really didn't understand the question, this discussion has always been about the two components of power, and which one should be given priority when building/tuning a motor. Imbedded in that was my assumption (right or wrong) that the boundary conditions for the motor were kind of understood -


V8's from 289 up to say 460 max, and operating in the 3-6k range


So we agree to disagree, happens more often than not in these here parts.


I also noticed some of our prominent motor builders decided to sit this one out. Can't blame 'em, I'm sure they have been down this dirt road before, no need to choke on all that dust to a known dead end
