Well, there's a formula that relates it all together. Gearing has a lot to do with low-end drivability as well.
Let me say that my 01 LS had 140hp/126tq and LONG gears. my 00 ITR has what I stated earlier, and down low, it feels MUCH nicer.
My brain hurts too much to answer anything else at this time. We can only sit back and pray for fatbooty or inspyral or 1stgencrxer
