How Much Torque ?

[Stage1]

Hi Dr. Lee

My question is max.torque value for the 6.2 J engine along w/ rpm. Also do you know what it will be at 2000 rpms.

thanks,

The torque curve is pretty flat from 1500 rpm to above 2000 rpm, then it drops. For a naturally aspirated "J" should be about 290 ft-lbs.

Doc,
Thanks for the torque information, I am new to diesels, and the 6.2L torque value seems kind of low for an engine this size. Is this a good value for a non-turbo diesel this size? Also, is it easy to add 100 ft-lbs of torque to this engine wo/ turbo, what kind of up grades would be needed?

thanks,
Les
