Modified 502 intake and 540CI. Heads are from a 525.

Getrdunn---in first post I stated peak was at 5100.

What cam though? I would guess peak torque to be near 4,500 or so.

Next step up from a 525 cam. I was very surprised by the torque being higher than hp at max hp. My intake is not holding things back. My throttle bodies are 30% bigger than stock. It is the heads.

525 is 741 cam? Your peak torque at 5100 is what gets me. Throw a Vic jr and holley 850 and be done with it. Lol

No, under 5250rpm tq will be higher than hp even if you had better heads and intake.It's just math.

The issue you have, is that peak hp is at 5100rpm if you where looking for more hp and at a higher rpm.

What where your goals ?

He did not say his torque peak was at 5100rpm. He has only mentioned peak hp rpm. and what the torque was at that rpm.

Ya I went back and read it again. I had to read it three times to get it right. Rough last few days. What rpm was peak torque?
