Is More Flow Better, Is The Smallest Intake Port That Flows The Most The Best

Thrust is a force the same as torque is force. Thrust is not "one rotation", just as torque is not "one rotation". That was the point of my analogy. But we're all good now.

rpm = v because torque has a rotational vector. But again, torque is the force that moves, and rotation is simply the vector (direction) in which it is applied.

It's a bit disigenuous to suggest that a high-revving engine is not also a "torque" engine, because the more torque you make at those revs, the more power the engine produces. Hi-revving engines that have little torque down low have lag, are pigs to drive on the street, and the narrower the power band (torque curve) the more gear changes are required to keep the engine on the boil.

I honestly don't see what is so controversial about reiterating the fact that torque is the force that moves the car and that higher torque at any given rpm = more power. A flat torque curve is very much an asset on the street.

Because not everyone wants "more power" at the sacrifice of driveability. Maybe you guys do, I don't know?

I built exactly that. A 408 with more TQ than HP, a flat TQ curve from 3500-5300rpm, changes gears at 6500rpm, has posted 11.6 at 121mph in a 3400lb car and is fun to drive. You can drive my car anywhere. I drive it to the track and drive home and touch nothing except the tyre pressures.

I'm not at all disappointed in what I have – I've got exactly what I wanted. Not everyone wants to drive a peaky pig with all its power above 6500rpm just so they can have bragging rights.

But I get that some people do.

The vector of a torque is meaningless in this context, it's always parallel to the crank. Torque is a couple which is used as a motive force. It's force at a distance, without velocity or rpm it doesn't do us any good.
Torque is meaningless though because it doesn't tell us anything other than whether something can overcome a static resistance. Without rpm, there's no power and power is what it takes to accelerate.

No one calls a high revving engine a "torque" build. The entire point is that an increase of torque is an increase in power, but there's a practical limit to max torque. Making max torque at 2k rpm won't win any races or even be "fun" to drive. Max rpm is a function of good engineering, and increasing the rpm capability does not typically lower the torque produced, and so a higher revving engine always wins the drag race.

Whether that higher revving engine is good on the street is a moot point. Different people tolerate different levels of racy on the street, and what's streetable is too subjective to define. Not everyone wants to thump around smoking the tires and losing races, but I get that some people do.
