There may be a torque sacrifice, because the engine mods may move the maximum torque point higher up the rev scale and torque may actually be less at lower revs than the standard engine’s.
The traditional way of getting more power out of an engine is to improve its breathing and make it rev faster: that results in more ‘bangs’ per minute and hence more power. Both methods have their advantages and disadvantages. There are two approaches to improving 4WD engine performance: ‘hotting up’ the existing engine or repowering the vehicle.
You’re happy with your 4WD, but you feel that it would be even better if it went a little bit harder.
