What matters for racing is torque, right?

Where did you buy it? How many miles did it have?

It will be interesting to see how long it continues to make the same power and torque.

Hey Greg, its an eBay motor from a salvage car with around 90K miles.

The last motor (also eBay sourced) made the right around 195hp right up until it started to fail.
