NO way! Lay off the crackpipe!
Of course your engine had high torque in the low range, your primary runners were way smaller than mine AND you were chipped! These aren't equal comparisons and you got lucky on your chip to boot. The smaller runner improved the low end torque, especially when you improved the breathing of your engine. My primary runners were much larger (after I ported them) than they needed to be and ended up costing me some of my potential low-end torque....we both agreed on that. On top of that, the average contour 2.5L SVT did/does not have anywhere near the low-end torque that your 2.5 AND my 3L had.
MEANING...again, you were lucky with your 2.5L and you shouldn't use your engine as an example of a normal or average 2.5L! Yours might have been a factory freak. It is/was not a good example of the challenges that everyone else faces....therefore just remove yourself from this conversation because you never had to deal with what us normal no-low-end-torque challenged people had to deal with anyway!
Stay outta Grown Folks talk son....
