Ok great. Now what if its a plum quick 92 marathon motor. Any ideas on hp?
Still 2hp or more

scottyb · 03-22-2014, 01:08 PM

I don't think they increase hp a measurable amount.

financethis · 03-22-2014, 02:27 PM

so how do they say that they have a 20 percent increase speed and torque with a stock system.

hey do something to it

Speed, in an electric motor vehicle, is as simple as spinning the motor faster, (increasing the RPM). Torque is a matter of larger windings pushing smaller ones. Horsepower applies, but not in the same sense as a gasoline engine.
Ultra simplified but that's the gee wiz of it.

so I guess the question is will the plum quick be better than what I have stock even though it was smaller horse power to begin with
2 modded vs 2.5 stock

PQ is pretty reputable. You might want to call them and discuss the motor with their rep. Ask them how they get that extra 20%.

I see you bought the PQ motor. Step one is now complete!! :)
