You can gain a higher hp to torque ratio by working on the top end or a higher torque to hp ratio by working on the bottom end.
I don't think you can see where this is getting.
.. maybe port and polish your sleeves?

r u talking about a b20a5, like in the 3 gen ludes??? if so, meh, i wouldn't bother with it. there isn't much aftermarket support for that engine.
now a b20, like out of the CRV, i dunno much of anything about them.

don't think you're gonna find much torque outside of rebuilding the motor with higher compression pistons and a bore and stroke increase. i say slap on a small turbo and be happy.
