Those cars are built for straight line 1/4 mi drags. Gurantee that 30ftlb advantage makes the camaro launch considerably harder.
Coming back from Georgia there was a guy in a brand new Ford F450 towing a 41 foot regulator down 95. There was no way that truck was legal to tow that boat. I'm wondering if it had the 7.3 gasser in it. He was cruising along doing 75 until the slightest incline and then it was like he hit a wall. He gave it all it had but that thing would bog down to about 35-40mph. He was really pissing people off.
Not to mention that boat was wider than a single lane and he was having one hell of a time trying to keep that thing straight.
Here is a graph you might be familiar with that doesn't quite agree with your statement. The only place the 4.0 OHV makes more torque than the 4.0 SOHC is below 1600 rpm and it is only about 5 ft-lbs. I am guessing that could be equalized but it would probably sacrifice some of the top end power. Yes, OHC engines can spin to make more power but they don't need to unless the manufacturer designs them that way.
Whats the 60ft times though?
thats half the fun of forced induction.
Kinda like a 2.9, you know its gonna pop but you just don't know when.
Ill run that 2.3 anyday.
