My use is just for a fun car. Maybe a track here and there.

I want the power, because it is a Cobra.

But I don't want it to be the kind of car that can't be driven below 3500 RPM.

My current Vette's torque curve is flat. From 1000 RPM to redline, the torque does not drop below 300 ft-pounds.

My 88 Mustanf GT wasn't that way, those 5 liters were very peaky.

I'm trying to find out what the torque curve looks like below 3500 RPM on the 514/521 (whatever you want to call it).

Is it 100 ft pounds until 3500 and then 550 ft pounds (exageration) or does it keep a high rate of torque right from idle?
