Do you prefer Torquer or Twister?

[Mighty Thor]

Torquer usually refers to engines that have 2 valve, pushrods and a single overhead cam.

Twister usually refers to engines that have 4 valve, 2 to 4 cam.

Torquer makes gobs of power at the low end.

Twister makes gobs of power at the high end.

You must know the feeling of both in order to place a vote.


------------------------------------


Not to be bias or anything but I've driven a Volvo, Lexus, Honda, Mitsubishi--cars that has more HP than TQ. I've driven F-body V6, some V8, Vette, Fiero, cars that has more TQ than HP.

I can definately say I like Torquer. Twister just feels anemic to me at the bottom. Have to step on it to get it going. With the Torquer I pull away from the traffic really fast.

ok, your post just didnt seem to make sense to me the way you worded it without quoting.

Re: Do you prefer Torquer or Twister?

talk to any serious professional. torque wins every time. torque = fun. unless your driving an F1 car or a jet propelled vehicle, torque is gonna be the best indication of how efficient and fun your motor will be.

that and torque is directly related to the volumetric efficiency of the motor, so better motors produce torque first and revs as the cherry on top.
