I love low end torque.........

[Themeneea]

whats the best way to increase torque?
would a magnaflow muffler increase it?

thanks

The best way to increase low-end torque is to increase displacement. Pretty much all bolt-ons increase power at the high end (upper PRMs).

... change the gearing :)

Nitrous!
N2O will incress your torque on average 25% more than your hp!
So if your running say a 100hp shot of N20 you can expect to see a aditional 125ft/lbs of torque.

thats a big shot for a ga

Yes, it is but John wasn't recommending using a 100 ... he was just giving an example :)

Kelly is correct, I was using it as a example. I thought it would be easier for most people to understand 25% rather than me saying a 75hp shot will add about 94 addtional ft/lbs of torque.

But on that note if installed properly and running atleast a 12:1 air/fuel ratio a V6 should be able to handle a 100shot without a hiccup.

12:1 yeouch! I thought I was living on the dangerous side with 11:1 lol.

12:1 is basically for forced induction cars. Now N2O isn't 'Forced' induction but it does the same thing which is introduce oxygen to the cylinders.
Ideal fuel ratio for NA cars would be a bit over 14:1. The extra fuel in a nitrous application reduces the chance of leaning out.
