you just contradicted your own self ,there is a definite change in torque based on lubes being used on the fastener and no fastener should ever be torqued dry.. Oil,ARP Moly lube,Anti-seize etc. These numbers on your car were not created by engineers as much as they were lawyers. Also note...
LOL
I have a fox body,its a full on race car CHEVY POWERED lol
Dyno numbers are all about sales.lets be real - As I just watched
an S550 that made 1000 on the dyno blow his engine up at the track on
your tube this morning..... Wick it up sucka!
So you filled the tank with race gas ,prob Q16
and wicked it up to be able to say "Stock Motor" for shock value but the reality is
pretty much any decent v8 today would make 1000+HP with TTs and 18PSI
Because I see junkyard LS engines with 88MM singles running bottom 8s at the track
on e85...
another trick...tire pressure sensors are almost never accurate or I have not seen a set match a real gauge
set your tires on a gauge you trust and notice the differences on the dashboard
I replaced my OEM battery within a few months
its garbage .
Unfortunately the sizing we are forced to use
really limits my choices ..Ended up with an Interstate
which was a bit more powerful that the Motorcraft
I am considering removing my high flow cats and prob just use a delete of some sort
however they have been on my whipple car for 2 years and run fine..
