Thats a lot of damn torque in contrast to HP. All B.O.P (Buick Olds Pontiac)are simular.I have a little 260 v8 with 105hp and it has 205ft-lbs torque but seems like more.On the freeway it will pull up to 110-120 fairly easy and even though the tires turn slow when I do this it with power brake and spin posi and with the stock transmission is I shift myself I can chirp 2nd gear auto of course.Not saying its fast but for 105hp in a 78 Cutlass I can't complain and the thing don't use muce gas
