It's not the hp that puts you back in the seat it's the torque of the tpi.

idk how much torque the car has i have never seen a rating for it.
i ended up having to change the brakes on my car cuz they decided to randomly start screaming so i had to change those and when i got done it was to late to go to the drag strip for test and tune.

Wow look at all that Mad power look out Cummins

I have two 6 cylinder gas engines that make way more torque

Studebaker M275:
331Ci I-6 = 150hp & 320tq.

GMC 4500:
379Ci V-6 = 170hp & 366tq.

Both trucks will pull till the front wheels are several feet off the ground, the Stude is a 6x6 and the GMC is a 4x4 . . . The GMC will actually do wheel stand's . . .

I can guaranty both trucks also out weigh your cars

1. Both of those 6 cylinder engines are larger than 305ci. More torque is almost a given.

2. Who the **** cares?

3. Feel free to stop replying with your useless crap.

First off I would have to see the gmc do a wheelstand in person to beleive you and you can easily close that 50 ft lb of torque difference with some bolt ons dude.
