    how to increase low end torque

    Keeping it short and simple, I have gathered that increasing low end torque helps me accelerate at stops faster...so how do i increase it ?

    You and the car should go on a diet and loss all the unwanted kilo's. A lighter car is a faster car!

    To increase low-end torque on small NA engine:

    A) Supercharger
    B) Displacement Increase [Achieved with either Stroker Kit OR Engine Swap]
    C) Remap ECU [Don't expect too much, it'll feel 'better' depending on the bolt on mods and stuff down but still, not much gains...]

    The other way is to change your gear ratio so you're in the powerband more BUT there are a lot of compromises that needs to be made...

    These things. Less weight in the car, larger displacement engine, small turbo/twin scroll which spools nice and low, or a supercharger.

    Those are your best bets. Start by losing weight (what you can justify anyway). Spare tyre, some sound deadening, rear seats if you don't usually carry passengers. Power steering and air conditioning if you can live without them, lighter wheels if you have heavy ones etc.

    Otherwise every other option listed will probably cost you a good $3,000+

    Yeah you can get 4.7 final drives for D-series. And maybe 4.9 I think.
