torque is a direct function of hp.
i have only 2 more ft lbs of torque than stock....yet i am considerably faster than stock. it's all about where you want torque and where you have torque.
so where do you want torque, aka power?

ps, nos = brand. n2o is what you need to write
if you just want the torque feel, and want to stay N/A, then get:
spec stage 1 clutch (with the lightening option)
spec flywheel (9 lbs)
UR underdrive pulley
you'll feel more torque. but all your advantage will be gone by 3rd gear.
if you want more power, then there is a lot more to do

Actually, I beleive it's typed: Naaawwwwwwwz!!!!!!!1111one111!
But anyway... =) Yeah... What do you want? Low end torque? Mid-range? High end? For towing? Rallying? Tightening lug nuts?
If we know exactly what you want, we can help a bunch more!

hahahahaha, good replys.
im looking for low end an mid rangish torque for pulling out of the corners in slalom. plus, i had and old daytona once that had 140hp/174tq, thing felt retarded fast, but weighed so much more than my car..
this does make sense though, hp/tq go hand in hand, but just out of curiosity, i had to ask what would produce a little bit more than the other in engine mods. more tq to hp i mean.

You guys are such a funny bunch 
For torque cam gears would be the best option. then u can dial in where and when the torque comes on. Realize that most mods you do will reduce the low and mid torque. Although honestly this engine already has a good torque/hp ratio....torque is not what this engine needs...it needs HORSEPOWER.

for low end torque, cam gears, small diameter cai (like 2.25") and that's about it.
actually, i have another question.
can someone explain the cam gear numbers, when Twilight got his cams ground he had a series of numbers for each cam, im curious what those numbers mean, and how you derived them. i can take a shot in the dark, but i'd rather ask.

Those are lift and duration figures. It tells you how much the valves are open and for how long. The duration number, say 205@.050" means that the cam is pushing on the lifters for 205 crank degrees at 50 thousandths of an inch. 50 thou is the standard rating for cams, as total or seat time can vary considerably.
About the torque topic. I found that UR underdrive pulley works much better with SR motorsports alternator and water pump pulleys. Much more torque than UR pulley alone. Get Ractive's 4 to 1 race header ($325 Cdn is what I paid) with a 2.25in exhaust and no cats (if your NA) will supply nice torque. I have an AT p5 and I love it. You can get more torque if you get rid of your A/C and power steering, Probably as much as 20ft/lbs I've been told by a friend who's building his 1500hp+ 1974 Vega for a race in Louisiana this Feb. All these pulleys are parasitic to your motor, so lighten them or lose them for more power. For top end, I installed SR cams and a custom cold air. I bought GREDDY's ENGINE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM which I plan to install this spring. I also installed Eibach springs and new wheels and tires. I hope I helped you out with this info and good luck with your project. (cool)
