How can I increase my torque?

Just wondering, are there any mods out there that give u a good gain in torque?

I notice a lot of guys runing bigger turbo's are making between 330-350lb-ft of torque (on pump gas).

WHen i upgrade my turbo, i'd like for it to make a lot more torque on pump.

So are there any things i can do, or any mods that will give me a good gain in torque?

thanks

Find the right tuner. Torque is achieved between the right balence of boost, timing and AFR's.

P.S Do you work at Great Neck Mitsu?? If so please hit me up with a PM

Right. You need 264 not 272. 264's are a torque cam and 272's are a power cam.

Consider alcohol injection. More horse power and torque.

As someone already said, stroker kit. That's the best way to get torque up there with hp when upgrading to a large turbo. You want to play, you got to pay.
