I think that's the common perception, my peak torque got bumped up for
sure, it really comes alive at high rpms, but it's fine down low, I don't
find bottom end torque to be a problem at all. Mind you, mine's a 2L, so
they naturally have a bit more grunt than the 1.8 at the bottom end to
begin with. I can't tell you how much it moves the peak up, since mine got
a new head and a cam as well as the new intake between dyno runs. Well
gotta send this, the kid wants the machine...
