Talking about sound , my personal favorite is a 101 ci Harley with straight pipes pulling two up on a 6% uphill grade . Seriously though , torque is more a result of stroke and hp of rpm . That's why bigger engines ( read diesels or monster motors ) turn at a MUCH lower rpm than smaller engines . Of course I'm talking on road engines . The kitty cat in my kenworth is rated at 325 hp , but it puts out just over 1350 lb ft of torque at 1800 or so rpm's . And it's an old 1982 3406 big cam . It's all a matter of stroke and cubic inches to get usable work at a low rpm , so the rice sucker couldn't really get any real work done no matter what gear set you put behind it until it reached it's upper limit of the rpm band and then you might as well quit because it'll have about 1450 rpm's left , what does that remind you of ? ...Randy
