More Torque than Hp?

Another visualization that may help some is pushing a car. How hard you have to push your foot down on the first push...that is the torque required to do the job. The subsequent pushes get easier. As you keep going it gets easier, and the pushes come faster. That's horsepower. When you can't push any faster you need bigger lungs (cam and heads).

Torque is a function of effective displacement. There's no such thing as building an engine for torque. The only way to increase low rpm horsepower is to increase effective displacement.

Torque does nothing to accelerate a vehicle. It resists slowing down. The diesel pickups from the 80's are a great example. High torque, low hp. They can pull a train up a mountain, but can not accelerate the load. I've never heard anybody say those things were fun to drive. You build for hp at the rpm you want.
