Default Highest Torque YB

Whats the highest Torque figure you have seen on a standard YB engine?

Regardless of any bolt on parts ie turbo, manifolds ect just on standard internals....

Are there anymore rules to your standard engine . Why not mod the engine to achieve the best results & last a long time. Standard internals & huge Torque are not good companions.

thought a man with your credentials would understand what i was getting at ROD... standard block, rods and pistons, standard head, cams valves thats it... do you have anything positive to contribute as im sure you have seen lots of engine builds with standard internals over the past 300 years

I'd be betting that there.s probably not many standard cossies running "standard compression ratio"....as its guarantee'd some previous owners will have needed to give the head a skim with the type of owner these cars attracted throughout their lives

your probably right was late last night and was just wondering as over the years many people must have bolted bigger turbos on and had them mapped and was curios as to what torque they made... i remember many people used to run T4's and T38's and even GT30's on standard CR...
