It's a pretty common misconception that just because an engine is built with a good set of heads and a bigger camshaft that it won't make power down low in the "driving range" or it makes "less" power than a stock engine down there.

When in fact most cases the exact opposite is true. They will generally make more power down low in the driving range than a stock engine. The biggest difference is that "peak" power occurs at a higher rpm point. However, that doesn't mean it makes less power at 3000 rpm or less than a stock engine does.

Paul has shown this time and again pulling his "built" engines down to 2000 rpm on the dyno. They might make peak torque at a higher 4000 rpm vs 3400 on a stock engine, but it still makes more at 3400 than the stock engine does and at every point below that as well.

But, guys that never run their engines on a dyno wouldn't know that, they just know what misinformation they've read on the internet.
