Reply #7 - 08/10/05 at 00:59:49 The question is better asked 'How much torque'? Then ya don't feel so wimpy w/ the crotch-rocketeers. Perhaps in my case - crotchety-rocketeer.

i believe converting cubic centimeters to torque is like comparing apple and oranges.

cc's have to do with volume, torque is a measurment of power. a 250 with 4cylinders most likley has less torque that a 250 thumper.

Torque is a twisting force. It is developed by the pressure of the expanding combustion gasses pressing down on the surface area of the piston multiplied by the length of the crank throw.

Between a four and a single of the same displacement, the four has less surface area and a shorter stroke resulting in far less torque. However this torque comes four times as often as with the single.

The four-cylinder gives four little shoves.
The single gives a massive kick.

"So tell me why should it be true
That I get a kick out of you."

Reply #11 - 08/10/05 at 20:30:47 Hey again, If you converted the cubic centimeters in to cubic inches then couldn't you figure your torque or horsepower from that? Just a theory, not sure.
