No, you give me one "would've" and an 8hr youtube video.
With to so far.
Yes, 25% more power atrokes, with 25% less torque created from each one.
So same horsepower. Got it
Yes, but again, it's making less torque with each of those power strokes.
Which is why it needs more of them to make the same horsepower.
If you have two engines with equal horsepower, but different operating RPM, if you optimize the convertor, gear and chassis etc to use the horsepower where it's available in both.
They will both provide the same level of performance, or at least extremely similar.
That's entirely my point.
Not unless it made more horsepower.
Absolutely, this is a given.
Not if you're reducing the torque in equal proportion to the increase in RPM to arrive at the same horsepower.
Hmm, You do understand that optimising gear ratios can be done for lower RPM engines as well, right?
It's not a thing that only exists for high rpm engines, gear reduction is a scientific principle that can be applied wherever it's needed.
Like, there are 8sec diesel pickup trucks running on the street. And they do it with ungodly amounts of torque.
Try telling them "RPM is king"
They''ll laugh in your face.
