Tldr: Title.
Compared to my v6 12 Sorento, this car seems slower. Yes it's heavier but I'm noticing that the power seems to come on 2.5k rpm and seemingly pulls to redline
The Sorento almost feels like it has a turbo. It can spin the tires if I'm not careful. I get lots of torque 1-3.5k and it falls off after that.
I took off a section of the intake on that car to make the intake tubing shorter. Now it has less torque 1-3k but the power is spread out until like 6k now.
With intake tubing I think shortening it changes the power to come on more in mid to high rpm range while lengthening the tubing make it come on more low to mid range.
The intake tubing seems to just stop at the plastic on top of the radiator. I'd want to see if making the tubing longer to extend before the grill would give the car more low end torque but since this is a Highlander it just doesn't even seem worth it to buy a CAI to try it out .
