Default What can I buy to build up some more torque in my car?

I sticking with the stock f22b1 engine as of right now. Everyone always think that more horsepower is better which is not quite true. I want to build up some more torque on my car because my car lacks low end grunt even though I have 180hp with bolt ons and a few other performance mods. Is there a way I can get my torque ratings to level out with my horsepower? Everytime I have a mod theres more hp but very little torque added. What do you guys think? I know N/A is not good with the f-series. So what would help with this? Turbo? Thanks.

A general rule of thumb: longer stroke equates to more torque (ability to rotate the drive axles). Given that Honda has only seen fit to offer no appreciably larger 4 cylinder engines (ok,ok 0.1 cubic litre bigger (F23)), you have only two trditional routes to go.
1) A stroker kit (I've found none)
2) Change the differencial final drive ratio to a higher final drive ratio. You'll gain accelleration off the line, but it will be at the expense of top speed. (Your tach will reach 6100 rpm sooner...........)

3) or a Turbo/Supercharger kit

your making 180 with bolt ons on an F22b1??!?!?!?!?!!

you cant make troque w/o spending money. remember, horsepower is a function of torque, so horsepower goes hand in hand with it (to some extent)
