Then they were wrong. And I'm not bein a smartass......it's got something to do with the physics of it. I cannot explain it all. I just KNOW torque and HP always cross at 5252 RPM......and regarding the diesel thrown into the mix, yeah there are several diesels now that will rev that high. My Ford 6.0L Powerstroke would. But even if it cannot rev that high.....torque and HP WOULD be the same nonetheless. If that makes sense. I know. It's hard to comprehend. But it's a fact.
