Is there any way to gain low end power?

 

[nemesis25]

Higher compression ratio, higher cam lift, and more exhaust velocity among other things I believe.

 

[oldschoolcavi]

does exhaust velocity mean bigger exhaust? Some people say you gain high end power but lose low end power with bigger exhaust piping.

IIRC, more velocity is actually smaller diamater, whereas less would be inverse.

Screw lowend, highend is where its at. Trust me on this, lots of lowend in a fwd = an excessive amount of wheelspin.
You dont need anymore lowend with a 60degreev6, unless your using it to tow a trailer.

I've seen a Chevette tow a trailer with a Grand Prix sitting on top. The thing was bottomed out, but the 454 shoved into it pulled nicely. :lol:

I like to peel my tires and I don't like to floor the gas pedal all the way to get the most power.
