Hp lower than torque - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

SLEDMASTER · 03-02-2011, 12:06 PM

I just had AHR 1 7/8 headers with hi flo cats and a Vararam super street installed along with a custom tune. The Hp is 25hp lower than the max torque. SAE. 354 hp 377 torque.
Any ideas why? It is l99 with auto.

It's not shocking to see numeric torque be higher than numeric horsepower sometimes. It just happens.

AWESOME!!! Who gives a stink about HP. You want TQ. HP = fast, TQ = quick!

It's probably because you have AHR headers instead of ARH...

Mine was that way with the tune, headers, and csi. I'd rather have more tq.
