My Road Trip Motor Progress
rick m:
I don't plan on spending any dyno time with the motor. In the 43 years I have been doing this and all the different combo's I have run, I had a pretty good idea what I wanted when I started. I could careless about posting a dyno figure. I was building for torque and not hp readings.

My thought exactly! Can't get hp without it ;)

I rekn torque is measured best by the bum. ;D
If you're cruising along at 100kph in top, roll up behind a slow roadtrain doing 90kph, sneak out a bit to check it's clear down the road, then still as a top gear roll-on, PUNCH it......
.......that's torque.
If your new motor is doing 140kph at the front of the roadtrain instead of 130kph that the old one would do, you have more torque.
Simple really.

Dalland...
I've been around plenty of dyno's. Just stated I was not intending to dyno my motor. Not necessary for what I am doing.
Good comment modnrod. :-)
