Default Re: LS7 vs. 350 ci LT5 mods

It is becoming obvious that the torque curves on the LT5s are characteristically flatter over all, and especially at the high end. (See how for the most part the LT5s hp is more or less flat going into 7000 rpm, even on stock cams?)

The trouble with "peak" hp and torque numbers is, well, they're "peaky". The greater area under the curve(s) makes more sense when evaluating usable output.

Just food for thought.
