Right on Glen...... If anyone doubts the post, go drive the Acura Integra GSR -VTEC motor, 170+hp, but a yugo could take it till the vtec reaches 7k on the tach.... and the prollum is worse cuz the max torque rating is in the upper 6k range (where most of the rest of the world is at redline)..... But boy those numbers are impressive for a four-banger..... Scott
