apologies to Scott, I was looking at hp curve not torque, Scott is
right about flat curve.

(it was coincidental I was on that page comparing hp curves when I got
the email)

I'm giving myself a dope slap.

if you want to see what Scott calls "flat flat flat", look at this
page on the bostig site and you can choose and compare a few engines.

their dyno tests show torque (at wheels) @ 2,500 to be around 54 ft/
lbs, and @ 4500 to be around 95 ft/lbs
