Re: Conversion of foot pounds of torque into Newton metres?

it looks high but youve got to remember that your gearbox and diff are multiplying your engine torque and reducing its output speed. for eg in third(1.5:1 at a guess) and a diff ratio of 4:1 thats an overall reduction of 6:1. So divide 1490 by 6 = 250Nm a lot more realistic figure once you factor in drivetrain loses.
