Well, the casting of the head is the same, unless you are comparing to the new PT Cruiser, where the head is more geared towards air volume (which means high RPM airflow velocity, and high end), which would actually mean that our head pushes the torque band down. The intake manifold, as I covered in my previous post, is longer then the Stratus manifold, with longer runners meaning lower RPM torque peak, our manifold would lower the torque peak further. Lastly, the cam grind that we have is more similar to the Stratus then it is to the Neon. Hence, the Neon has 150 HP and we have 140. We have 140 because, although the torque quantity is similar, the place where we make it is lower. Therefore, if the torque is equal, the motor with the lower horsepower rating will have a lower torque peak. Our cams are slightly more high-RPM tuned then the Stratus, but not by a ton. Hence I am trying to shorten my runners and do other things to increase the airflow velocity at high RPMs which should push my power peak back up. I don't know exactly how this will relate to the 2.4, but I think that the torque peak would be moved from 4000 up to 4200 RPM with the addition of the 2GNT head and manifolds. I could be wrong, however, as this is all untested and undocumented, and as such, does not qualify as data, let alone reproducable data.
-=B-= <===== looks to see who is around, and slyly drops a disclaimer in the last sentence. That means that if I am wrong, don't flame me publicly on a forum that I do my damnest to support. Not that I am still bitter about any incident with any person, I am just covering my bases with a hypothetical situation.
Dude, Boeing called. They want their wing back.
