![]() ![]() ![]() and what's reasonable to achieve for a daily driver? 180ft-lb? 190? 200+? what's the conventional wisdom out there for increasing NA torque. How can a NA car increase the pressure of each piston expansion cycle? More "energetic" fuel? Faster combustion/pressure rise? so from a first cut, it seems that increasing the pressure of your expansion cycle would be a good place to start, short of rebuilding your engine with larger pistons (bigger engine displacement). My first cut is that the force generated by any piston expansion cycle is a function of the area of the piston and the pressure generated inside the cylinder. but what can be done to improve NA torque, such that a daily driver would appreciate it when merging into highway traffic, taking off from a light, passing, etc? There's lots of talk on how to increase horsepower. Unless you're winding out your rpm's (on the track, or perhaps, the salt flats of Bonneville!), it seems to me that torque is much more usable for a normally aspirated daily driver than horsepower. ![]()
