Knightjp enthusiast Registered: September 04th 2010 3:04 pm Posts: 343 Loc: Dubai, United Arab Emirates	Originally Posted By: frscke1 if you want beef buy beef...but pay for the good cut Thanks for the advice... The van is VW LT... Its German which means its going to be German quality metal. Couple that with the weight of the equipment I'll be loading in the back, I needed an engine that provides good enough torque so I don't need to rev it as much to get going. My question is... which of the two (pushrod or modular) gives more torque???
