Stu its not bhp that makes u move faster is it
My Physics degree must be all bullshit then
so although the peak bhp might not increase much, the area under the torque curve if you look at the whole range will increase with the extra capacity.
No it won't. I agree with ur theory, but it just doesn't work in practice. The whole thing with the 1600 is it has a really nice power band. The torque drop off on a ZVH is horrendous. And the head is far from asthmatic - mine ported by Karl has the same VE as a std cossie engine
