Coyote, relative to the stock engine, do you have any info (or a best guess) on where the peak torque is for an XFi relative to the garden variety 1.0?



That's the BSFC map for the garden variety motor, going by the power rating.

The torque curve with the XFi cam is obviously lower (based on the butt-o-meter) after doing the swap in my car. If I knew how much lower, I'd be able to fine tune my pulse & glide technique.
