Is Torque King?

This statement:

"For the most part torque is a useless number once HP curve is found from it."

is so ludicrous and wrong that I'm not even sure how to address it. Without torque you have no HP and nothing will get done. As I keep saying Torque is a measure of how much work can be done by the engine and HP is a measure of how fast the engine can do it. You need both, but how much of either depends on the use.

Gearing, tire size, and all of that has no bearing, that is Zero effect, on torque or HP produced. Mentioning that just confuses the issue and should be in a separate thread on how to apply what the engine produces.
