Yep... definitely will feel a lot faster...


You give us a good example... on you Vortec 4800 the torque is actually MORE than the HP... that is very typical... so unfortunately a lot of folks thing that their 300HP is better than say a 270 HP V8... when in fact the 270 HP V8 is going to have more torque than the V6... and remember Torque wins races...
