HOW MUCH IS TORQUE WE CAN SEE AND FEEL!

Always enjoy your videos regardless of content or duration.... Thx brother

I try to make others think and understand a little bit more of our trade.

[@danielwilson6665]

Ben I like the way you demonstrate your point. If the torque wrench handle length was reduced to 3.5”, you would lose the leverage ratio advantage available with the longer handle. You would have to apply more force or effort to obtain the same level of torque achieved by using the longer handle. If this is a trick question, then cut my legs off and call me shorty 🤷‍♂️. So someone hacked your Facebook page and stole your account ? Damn that sucks ! Cyber crime is rampant and an ugly sign of the modern times we live in. I remember a time not so long ago when…..and that’s all I have to say about that ✌🏻

[@benalamedaracing2765]

Daniel, thanks and you got my point the amount of effort increases or decreases with a reduction or addition of wrench length or what we call stroke!

[@danielwilson6665]

@@benalamedaracing2765 Ben, I appreciate your kind comment. I was going to say stroke, but I probably would have started rambling on about rod/stroke ratios and other stuff that would be very elementary to you. My comments are already too long and boring….kinda like this one. Thanks for sharing your words of wisdom with us all 🏁

[@carlking3964]

Dam ben, those look like concreat blocks sitten on there bud!!! And some kinda dam rocket hangen off the side of it lol lol lol. SO.ILL.😃

We need all the powaa we can get!

By adding collector extensions my car got faster everywhere on track

[@benalamedaracing2765]

Your observations are indeed correct and many have gotten the same results same as conventional collector vs. merge types.

[@alltherpm]

Well my snowblower has 25ftps torque, plus u got to fiqure its kenetic energy, rotating mass with flywheel so it might measure different then a wrench

[@benalamedaracing2765]

Yes sir these is why I mentioned rpms. Specially rotational inertia with aluminum or heavy steel flywheel. Heavier vs. light cranks/rods will really change the scenario but the twisting moments still the same.

[@bobsmith1101]

How about a HP challenge. The most you can get out of a Ford 351 on REGULAR gas? Is this a ridiculous question?

[@benalamedaracing2765]

It is possible specially with a good cylinder head plus displacement increases and using a big cam! I made 630 with a 302 block with street compression therefore it is easier with a 351 to start with.

[@stuartwall8212]

gear reduction.....mmmmmm....If my car was not a street car, it would be forced to redline at about 115 mph. A torque less wonder with a crutch. 😲

[@benalamedaracing2765]

It has been a long battle with the 2 speed powerglide vs. the 3 speed Th350/400. Now almost all NA racers run 3-4 gears for the obvious reasons specially if it is a 1/4 mile against an 1/8.

[@davidreed6070]

Ben when are you planning to talk to us on Drag Boss Garages channel?

[@terrygrover6440]

That's what I would like to see my two favorite people together, the two best channels on KZbin, the tim and Ben show where you're always learning something new 😀

[@vrm86gt]

Looking forward to that also!

[@benalamedaracing2765]

I will do a Cleveland head video which is Tim's part of the world!

[@davidreed6070]

@@benalamedaracing2765 that'll be great Ben, ill be watching. Thank you

[@Mike62501]

Ben you’ll have fun with Tim at DBG and his family too.

[@Axeman428]

25ft/lbs @ 3000 RPM will turn that crank, with proper gearing It’s all about torque @ rpm but you will eventually get you car up that hill with enough turns on those vise grips, just don’t let go! 😂 Love your videos and have been subscribed for a while. Thanks for your knowledge and time.

[@benalamedaracing2765]

Thanks for tuning in Axeman!

[@deanmoser5907]

25 foot pounds will still make the car run faster if the gearing allows the car to run where the improvement is made.

[@benalamedaracing2765]

Definitely feel it.

[@terrygrover6440]

Sorry to hear your account was hacked ben we are living in bad times

[@benalamedaracing2765]

I am trying to get it back...

[@approachingtarget.4503]

Gears and weight can fool the output of any engine.

[@benalamedaracing2765]

If applied correctly you can beat someone with more power in many instances.

[@jimmyrwilkesjr5127]

I've heard of TRUNK MONKEY ,BUT I HAD NEVER HEARD OR SEEN A CARB MONKEY BEN ,😂😂,THANK YOU SIR FOR A GOOD LAFF THIS MONDAY AM AND ANOTHER GREAT VIDEO thank you sir ,shout out from SANFORD NC

[@benalamedaracing2765]

Thanks Jimmy and glad you find the monkey model funny! lol Have you ever heard of a fender lizard?

[@jimmyrwilkesjr5127]

@benalamedaracing2765 NO BEN ,I HAVEN'T PLEASE FORGIVE MY IGNORANCE ,WHAT IS A fender lizard ? Always love all your content and videos

[@Latuya-y1n]

Lean at top rpms timing to lower compression 6 5 1

[@Latuya-y1n]

11000 tq n 11500 hp

[@GrantOakes]

With that 2 foot long torque wrench you'd only need to apply 12.5lbs, less than the weight of a bowling ball. But, at 5252rpm you'd have 25 more horsepower.

[@benalamedaracing2765]

Yes and this is why I said 3.5 from the center would give everyone an idea how much more effort would be required to do the same thing turn the crank over.

[@carlking3964]

I can anserw the torqe question ben!!! You must check how much more poop is in the seat!!!! 😃😄, SO ILL.

[@benalamedaracing2765]

Carl, that is exactly what I was producing turning on that vice grip! lol

[@carlking3964]

@@benalamedaracing2765 i picked up what you are putting down my main man 😊 as that is a very good example. It just brought something to mind. About an old freind, that has been buildind smallblock chevi strokers before most even had an any idea anout that. And he never got outran on the street. It was a very old corvette. Then he got bored with that, and stsrted building drag mud trucks. We were close. And i seen him up town and told him i got in it and made a pass!!! 😃 he replied very quickly and very seriously and said, i don't care, just make shure u wipe the poop out of the seat when your done lol lol in a very dry way!! I laughed my behind off as he was funney as they come!! 😃😄 SO.ILL.

[@butziporsche8646]

What about rod angularity?

[@benalamedaracing2765]

I prefer the longest rod possible to fit in specially for sustained high rpm.

[@bobwhite4344]

great demonstration. torque x first gear ratio x rearend ratio = torque at rear axles. 25 ft# x 2.78 x 4.57 = 317 ft# torque at rear axles.

[@benalamedaracing2765]

You went further than me! Awesome and loved these things.

[@MrCbell57]

Very cool.

[@benalamedaracing2765]

Thank you sir.
