Cmon this is an Oldsmobile site, we don't care about horsepower, torque is king. What is the torque numbers? They should be decent for a straight 6.

The 4cyl has a whopping 85 ft lbs while the 6cyl has an earth shaking 117 ft lbs of torque.

Looks like you get high revs from the 4 pot engine. I believe I saw a rev counter with a 6k redline in one of the pics.
How much hp/cu.in did contemporary American iron make?.

75 HP to 100 HP is a 30% increase! C'mon, that's huge!

Reminds me of when I bumped the compression on my ****** MB from 6.48:1 to 7.84:1. Huge gains.
