The tranny increases engine torque...well, not really engine torque, but torque to the wheels.
1st and 2nd gear would have the most torque, since it has the most reduction. The numbers that the manufacture gives are flywheel numbers, done on an engine dyno.
Put the 4Runner in low range and torque might skyrocket to diesel bus levels...hehehehe :smile:
But sorry to say, you've only got 80 wheel horse-power!
j/k...1st and second gear increases torque, and cuts HP...try it again in 4th gear...this way, you would get a better figure of what the engine is actually putting out to the wheels.
I'm just wondering why the shop teacher did not know this...
