But before I continue let's be clear:
Peak engine crank torque figures to be specific are pretty well meaningless. Obviously if one knows an entire torque curve the entire hp curve can be simply calculated.
Of course you realize that although such overboost features do not produce any additional peak hp they do provides additional power at lower rpm. It is the increase in power that matters. However, if one could choose additional torque and no addition in peak hp or an increase in peak hp which do you believe would offer more performance improvement (of course assuming each hypothetical vehicle is driven aggressively, i.e. for extracting maximum possible performance)?
