More Torque than Hp?
What if this were real? Oh wait, it is!

This engine kind of proves torque in itself without the context of rpm is of less importance. Over the 3000 rpm the torque is practically the same. But there a vastly difference in power at 6000 rpm than 3000 rpm. Basically doubling the power even though torque is virtually the same.
Reason why at 3000 rpm your basically making 500 + lbs-ft per revolution at only 3000 times a minute and at 6000 your doing 500 ish lbs-ft at 6000 times a minute doubling the work being done "hp".
If torque is king like some like to think. Then this engine would be just as strong at 3000 rpm as 6000 rpm but its obviously not. Another engine could make even a better hp curve with less torque but more rpm. Like i said before torque is important but everyone dismisses his equally as important little buddy "RPM". And it there combined efforts thats all important expressed as hp.
And why do i think this is important. For most builds its not. Doesn't matter if you veiw low end torque or for me low end hp is the correct way to look at or if you think torque does one thing and hp does another.
For either veiw usually leads them down the right path. But there are times where it leads to bad advise. Especially those who like or interested in building power through rpm over torque. Then they usually get beat over the with a 4" stroke until they submit :)
