I wil be using a quaker state 75w-90 oil, can't remember the model #
In regards to torque vs power, it's the way the engines are designed. There are 3 basic types of motors I have heard about, square, over-square & under-square. (I hope this is right)
A square motor has equal bore/stroke thus giving comparable torque/HP #'s
A oversquare motor has a larger bore (like our motors) which translates into higher torque numbers. Kind of like a american V8, lot's-o-torque
A undersquare motor is like any honda V-tech motor where they can have 240 HP & only 151 torque, yu gatta rev it to have any fun.
Also, turbocharging produces torque more then HP so our motors "should" still produce more torque then HP. How much? I don't have a clue.
