Torque is what you feel, had s.b. 400 in 29 roadster, package weighted 2150 running. Probably only ~230-250 h.p. but it was one of the fastest cars I ever had for 0-80 mph ,( I ve had over 300 vehicles in 40 yrs not bragging just putting in perspective) put r.v. cam in it got even stronger- rpm limit 4500 but didnt need rpm w/ all the torque. 31 5w
