    high horse power.

     



    Will high horsepower (aka. high torque at high rpm) make a full size 2wd pickup accelerate fast?

    Does high hp really make a vehicle fast? or is low-mid torque the way to go for acceleration.
    had a rebuilt 355SB chevy
    it lasted 42,000km
    Got another rebuilt 355SB
    it lasted 62km.
    I still have not had a powerful engine.

    slowly building a quicker truck

    Now that I got my smart a$$ comment out of the way, for the street you want low and midrange torque. Torque is what gets the vehicle moving.
