[QUOTE="fabianyee, post: 619453, member: 6"] Don't get too obsessed with max hp, what's more important is the torque curve. no point having 30hp extra but only useable at 6000rpm or higher. Flattening the torque curve gives the engine more useable driving flexibility. So when shopping for remaps, don't just look at the peak power. look also at the torque curve. Carroll Shelby once said: "[I]Horsepower sells cars[/I], [I]torque wins races"[/I] [/QUOTE]
