I'm wondering what my hp and torque should be at now that I have completed a little modding. I am interested in knowing the torque too. I have a 1995 Integra LS (4-door) with a Comptech Icebox, Comptech 4-2-1 Headers, Carsound Hi-Flow Cat, and Comptech Power-Pro Catback Exhaust. I also have suspension upgrades and everything, but those are the only components that would affect my hp/torque. My car comes stock with 142 hp @ 6300 rpm and 127 ft/lbs of torque @ 5200 rpm.

Also, on my last tank of gas I got 250 miles to the tank. Isn't this rather low? The specs say that I should get 25 miles to the gallon city driving only: 330 miles to the tank... is the aftermarket exhaust hurting the efficiency, or is it aggressive driving, or what?

Thx,
Ben

 

I just grabbed those stock numbers of the Edmunds specs page. Thanks for the input.

What are some ways to increase torque?

The only way to gain hp is by gaining torque. HP is directly tied to your torque and rpm. I would suggest having your car dynoed to see what you are doing. One of those specials were you get a couple of runs for 40 or 50 would be ideal.

With any mod, if you gained HP, you had to have gained torque also. You may lose torque in some places also. YMMV.
