This is one of those time where i look at all your G's, and 3.5's and realize how tired I am of the 3.0. Great engine reliability and DD wise, but it REALLY dosen't have much of anything down low. One of the main reasons i love my Pathfinder and it's torque happy 4.0, Anything above 2500RPM's and you start moving. Just so much low end torque. Just sucks i'm still in high school and can't afford to do a 3.5 swap on my current max, or purchase an 03 MT, or an 03-04 G.

NO KIDDING! I'm sick & tired of hearing about poor DE-K low end performance, which isn't bad all things considered. The fact is all engines are simply an air pump, constrained by the laws of Thermodynamics & Volumetric Efficiency to a maximum available amount of power vs. displacement. All you can do is move that available power around. The trick is an engine that reduces pumping losses makes more power for a given displacement. Guess what? A DE-K gives up 500cc displacement which is equal to another cylinder's worth. Naturally it's going to have less torque! The other issue is most people who don't know any better, mod the DE-K for max horsepower. I.E. VIAS delete, big bore intake setups & etc. that only serves to decrease low end torque. My bone stock DE-K has decent enough torque to break the tires loose at will with small throttle openings & when the VIAS opens it heads for the redline fast. It will also hit the rev limiter at 1:1 gearing on the highway where HP & Torque are needed to overcome drag. I think the problem is "Balloon Foot" owners with no concept of throttle modulation. Instead of rolling into the throttle, they just go WOT and bog the engine due to low intake velocity. Created by a cable operated throttle and OEM intake that flows at higher RPM's. So they blame the motor for not having low end torque. Probably the main reason Nissan went to an electric throttle body. To properly modulate the throttle for those that can't figure it out. Because "DRIVERS" are in short supply. 

i think its just straight up unfair to be even mentioning the motors TQ at 2500 in a DEK and a 3.5 PF truck (i mean how much does the truck really jump out at 2500?? lmao), in that case the TQ that the truck put out is soooo much better than that of the 5.5
... i dont get why that was even mentioned... thats like me saying aww man this 3.7 is a nice motor they got but this bugatti has soooo much more HP and TQ lmao.... id like to see it kept in perspective lol, like the TQ between the 5.5 n 5th lol... also, i have a question... whats the 0-60 on both vehicles???

clashez bought that car last week and traded it for a yugo
I do not think he could afford the price-tag of the car when Forged Performance was selling it. A friend of mine made the purchase and the car is local now.
Read up on the build thread if you are curious.

I'm taking the day off as chaperone at the local amusement park for my kid's school picnic. I'd invite some of you guys to attend, but short notice and all.
It's a freaking beautiful day, too. If you're not swamped with work, or not too busy looking for work (or not busy not looking for work), you should get out and enjoy it. Days like this are rare. At least in Upstate NY they are.
