Can you remind us what the specs of the engine are-cams, capacity etc?

Very nice specification and good power but I think I am more impressed with the torque figure!

I?m sure someone else has noticed this, but the torque curve looks curious. Should intersect horsepower at 5252 rpm.

The rpm scale is stated as being off (shifted?). But, regardless the torque curve shown is way too high at 170+. From the hp curve the torque is more like around 120-125. Still decent as this is a stroked engine after all.

I think the torque is measured at Newton metres which as you said is around 125 feet pounds

Thanks for clearing that up. I should have thought about the units.

Glad we cleared that up.

That was a good torque reading for 2 1/2 litres !
