Not nescessarily. It all depends on what you're trying to do. You
can't just focus on one component and say "good" or "bad". You have to
look at the vehicle as an entire system and tune each part in concert,
all working together to achieve your final goals.
I suppose it is very well possible that installing the M1/MPI on a
bone stock engine could kill torque, but when I installed the MPI on
my little 318, I picked up at least 3 tenths. Wether it gained or lost
me HP or torque, I don't know; all I know is that when I installed it,
my ETs dropped, and right around 3,000 rpms, my truck pulls like a
freight train. :-) However, I also have a computer, intake and
exhaust work, etc. Also, if you're planning on running a wet nitrous
system, the MPI is the only way to go...
