[QUOTE="Hellrazor, post: 61643, member: 544575"] Well, one other important factor left out...the VVTL engine does have 180 hp but it only has 135 ft lbs of torque, which is ONLY 5 more than the regular 130 hp engine. Don't ask me why that is, because that was all Toyotas doing. It doesn't make sense to me either. That torque is the low end, get out of the hole power you need...the extra 50 HP from the VVTL engine at the high end of the RPM scale won't help much in the quarter. I respect your desires to beef up the 4's, don't get me wrong. I just think imo, you can always speed less and have more with a V-8. Man, there nothing like hearing a good ol' 350 with a Paxton on it, whining and all, like it's a jet fixing to take off! Just gives me goosebumps thinking about it!
