Horsepower Question
Correct on the 3v. Torque is about the same. The number is slightly higher I believe but it's something like 360. Multi valve generally get's you more efficiency in the upper RPM's hense more HP. Is the extra HP usable for 99% of the way people drive a truck/SUV? In the ad's and competitive marketing data it sure is!
Imagine if Ford would get real, and compare power in usable ranges like 1500 to 3000 RPM. I would think GM would get killed. Of course that is if they could get people to think "real" and realize that they may hit 5200 RPM 3 times in as many years in most cases.
Ok, I'm off the soap box.
Must be the diesel fumes getting to me.
