basically increase in displacement will increast torque through out the Powerband.. of course easist way is to bore the block.. but best is to actually stroke it...or just get a bigger block... or get a turbo =P

A supercharger is actually better than all three of those...but a combination of a bigger bore, higher compression and forced induction will net you quite a bit more. If you're really looking for big torque, you bought the wrong brand of car.

B20 man, torque monster. Go B20/VTEC, My friend has a daily driven eg and he does ll.80's. No need for downshifting in his car. Do the swap right and its alot of fun.

torque - Pronunciation Key (tôrk)

1.) The moment of a force; the measure of a force's tendency to produce torsion and rotation about an axis, equal to the vector product of the radius vector from the axis of rotation to the point of application of the force and the force vector.

2.) A turning or twisting force.
