Truck Accessories in Edmonton Improve Engine Torque and Horsepower


While most engines perform best when there is a balance between torque and horsepower, in certain situations, an engine might do best to have disproportionately large amounts of either torque or horsepower. In such cases, having greater amounts of either characteristic is dependent largely on the application. For example, in 4×4 hill climbing, maximum torque is usually the priority. The more torque you have on your hill climbing truck, the better it can resist that force of gravity pulling it downward on the slope. On the other hand, while torque is still important in drag racing settings, having higher amounts of horsepower on a truck will allow it to push further afield of competitors in a shorter amount of time.

Custom Auto Parts in Edmonton Help Keep the Automotive Industry Alive


The same criteria is also used when buying truck wheels and custom truck parts in Edmonton and elsewhere. Truckers need only pick between steel and cast alloy wheels and rims, which more or less have the same benefits and drawbacks. Speaking of which, deciding between factory-standard or custom-made parts can also be a point of contention. Most vehicles nowadays are designed to accommodate wheels, rims, engine components, and other parts made by the same manufacturer and nothing else. That said, custom parts usually improve overall vehicle performance, provided that the parts ‘fit’ seamlessly with the vehicles they’re installed into, both in terms of function and aesthetics. Considering that Canada’s motorways will soon see plenty more cars and trucks, the market for automotive parts of all stripes will also grow in the near future.
