The one thing that raised my eyebrows on the ADM/1.7L install was how quickly and hard the torque curve hit. Coming on that strong, that low in the RPMs got me to thinking how hard are the internals being hammered out of the hole? It makes sense on the LT4 because that is what the GM team is looking for, the driving experience, low end punch, day-to-day
It's been my experience that too much torque, too quick bends rods and shatters pistons. Smaller turbos are notorious for doing this if not tuned right. Maybe the LT1 can handle it, but maybe some torque limitation might be in order for a safety margin on this system....just a thought.
