IMO 'torque loss' on a 3.8 sc is not something you should be worried about. Bone stock the thing has all the torque the tires can handle from a dig (ie you can't just floor it and stick on street tires)- the more mods you do, the harder and harder it is to hook and go. Sure if you stuck it on an engine dyno- you could probably measure a low rpm torque loss, but there is no way you're going to feel that on the street due to lack of traction- and the increase in upper end power is worth it.

A lot of people were so concerned about torque/bottom end loss on the L67 when they first started making the really big cams- and even with the most massive cam, its still more power than street tires can hold anyways.

Honestly, the rules on most forums say ~450 pixels wide by ~100 pixels tall is the max (still ends up being almost 1/4 of your IE window on 800x600). Other forums that don't have a sig size limit usually specify that you only "add signature" to your first reply in the thread, so people don't have to scroll through the same picture 10 times in one thread.

 

torque loss happens, but you won't notice it... you'll gain top end HP, which is worth more than low end TQ.
