> [@eclipsed](#): > > it would need to weigh 750 pounds more? thats ridiculous, we are talking about two motors that have wtq #s of around 110 and 125 respectively. so for 15 extra ft/lbs of torque, you are going to swap blocks? thanks for your input, highly inefficient as it may be. Well considering the block and head is completely shit, yes. There is a 26% increase in the respective factory rated Brake torque, I have no idea what that is in repect to Wheel torque, however I would assume that drivetrain loss would be similar. Apples to apples, applesauce to applesauce. You said there is no advantage because of the weight increase, the curb weight of a GSX is around 2900 lbs, a 26% increase is ~750 lbs. I know this much logic must hurt your head, as much as the logic of buying a brand new car only to void the warranty. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/dsm-differences/45653)._
