well whatever the engine dynamic is that creates a 2:1 tq/hp ratio . 6.0's and 6.6's dont have it. i guessed it was bore and stroke that would cause that. if not, what is it ?

It seems to spool stupid quick. It will be interesting to find out for sure. A quick spooling 800/1500 would make for an insane street truck.

I better leave the explanation to the pros. I've been trying to keep my know-it-all approach to a dull roar those engines do have an awesome torque range as you pointed out though.
The magic number for the hp/torque calculation is 5252.. So at 5252rpm 1hp= 1ftlbs torque
HP = Torque x rpm / 5252
If that makes sense
Yep. As pointed out, this is why big single turbo setups have a much lower torque ratio, and still kill it at the track. The faster it lights, the more potential it has for a higher TQ/HP ratio... and potential for bending rods :doh:honestly i dont know the exacts, certainly dont know a ton. but i have, as well as you, been around long enough to see the motors with consistent fuel only numbers close to 2:1 . i suppose against all other things , spoolup is the deciding factor.

Got a full throttle ride in it yesterday, it moves. Traction isn't bad as I thought. He punches it, and it is ripping. Perfect street setup.
The gates are dialed in. Truck runs at 70-73 pounds of boost, and back pressure sustains at 80 psi. Very pleased with boost:bp.
The bad news is he'll probably only be able to get 35psi out of the atmo without switching to a larger gate or changing housings; thats all we could push it to yesterday.
Runs really well. He'll get some vids up. oke:
Tq may be 1500, may not. I don't like to get any hypes going into these things.

Sounds to me like this truck is gonna be a phenomenal street truck that will shut people up. Can't imagine hearing it in person. Good job guys. Do you think you're losing a ton with the tranny still?
I was interested so I googled.
----- B -- S --- B/S ratio
7.3 4.11 4.18 .98325
6.0 3.74 4.13 .90556
6.4 3.86 4.13 .93462
6.7 3.90 4.25 .91764
Hp-tq is related to rpm peak torque is made at..
6.0s rev higher therefore make less torque..

Morgan's pull truck spins right at 5000 rpm I think haha he might be close
That is sweet! The 6R140 is proving to be the Best and strongest Transmission in the light duty pickup market. In Stock form that is. Have not had much testing yet in built form. These things make the 5R110 look weak. That is great! It could tend to make a 600-700 build cheaper. Might even with careful driving last higher then that.
