horsepowe is the result of tourque...torque/time.
dpends on the application, if you have a car thats going to be hard to hook up, than you might be better off killing some of the low speed torque, but generally I like torque.
Torque is what twists the tire, prop, or pump. Horsepower helps us understand an amount or quantity of torque. :toocool:
Torque and HP are equal . . . at least at 5252 RPM.
I'm getting a feeling of deja vu all over again . . .
Henry is right. this has been done time and time again. But, why not. HP is for higher Rpms, torque for launch. You wanna pull something? get a torquer. You wanna race for miles? build for 10000 RPMs. Or, just gear your rear end/tranny really high.Quote:
