I've never heard of one making more torque than HP. But they can make a helluva lot. I know a dude with three 400+ hp cars. One of which is a 10-second drag car built by HKS back in the day.

Dude just search around here and you will find tons of info on the ca and if you want to make more torque then hp, then you might want to look into going the ka-t route.
