RB26DETT 2.6L inline-6
- 94 octane
- 10.2psi (stock)
- HKS intakes
- RS*R 4-inch exhaust
- 31 degrees inside TAG
340whp @ 7250
270 lb-ft @ 6000
(410-ish at the crank)
Ran 12psi on 100 octane a while back noticably more pull but no hard numbers.

All I know for now is that with high torque you get a real smooth accelerationcurve and it doesn't stop in high speeds.
EDIT: What's a "Cavy"?

the pull just keeps getting harder as the rpm rises. its more of a top end car and needs to be redlined. in everyday driving the car wont feel as peppy but when you race and put the gears together the car is still pretty fast. thats because when racing you're always at high rpms. torque is still nice and important to have for getting nice launchs and having a nice smooth pull throughout. in some cases cars with mostly top end are also better on gas.

So it is better for the racefeeling but not for the overall driving. Now I get it.
