I don't care at all about your numbers. You have posted enough complete bullshit to show that none of them have any credibility. Previous crap like claiming numbers that the performance magazines with their typical over-inflated tests NEVER come close to matching with or that an engine with a cold-air intake and catback can put 50 ft-lbs more wheel torque down then it's factory rated flywheel torque. Add in the fact that you hate LS engines and you have no credibility. I liked the old small blocks and still have a few around, but have no trouble admitting that the LS engines can make more power.
You are completely full of shit about the L31 making up to 40 ft-lbs vs the 6.0L. Anyone who can use Google can look up this curve.
The LQ4 certainly DOES make hit 300 ft-lbs of torque in about the 1300-1400 rpm range. Add 40 ft-lbs and you're over the L31 peak rated torque.
Any claims about how a L31 does way more than rated after you do the simplest bolt-on mods is bullshit. Tons of people have proved that mods like MAF de-screening, TBI lip removal or catback exhausts pick up very minimal power.
Any claims about how a L31 picks up a bunch of power after more serious bolt-ons or a cam and tuning would also apply to a LQ4. It's not hard to find power in a LS engine with smart modifications and tuning.
