yep. a few, but it's still early days yet

here's a couple of examples of some generalisations and myths:

"With extra torque, you just go faster"

"A high revving engine cost big bucks. A high torque engine can be very inexpensive."

"horsepower sells cars, torque wins races" or alternately "you buy horsepower but you drive torque."

But it's all relative and so we need to be clear what we are talking about. We can't compare an F1 engine to a street A series engine. The objectives are just too different. They are tuning for absolute maximum effort peak bhp that will last for the duration of a race, wheras you are looking for something that makes your car a bit quicker without:
-being a pig to drive,
-running hot at lights,
-using stupid amounts of fuel,
-requiring the most exotic and expensive materials in the world, and
-being 'lifed' at about 2.5 hours!

starting to get the idea of exactly who has more limitations? and I haven't even mentioned the big one yet...
