If that is his point, the same mathematical principle still applies here. If a hypothetical engine makes 400 lb-ft of torque and 457 HP at 6000 rpm and 370 lb-ft of torque at 7000 rpm. What HP is it making at 7000 RPM? It's 493 HP. The torque number and RPM still dictates the Horsepower amount no matter where in the curve it is, that is the way the math works. Newbomb Turk should understand that.

The Best analogy I can think to explain my point of view, is electrical so watts = hp, amps = torque and volts = rpm.

So your buying an amplifier for a stereo and to be able to reach a certain loudness , Watts how much power the amp makes would be you main concern for it’s ability for loudness, but volts would matter for how you plan on power it car or house but how many amps does it draw really don’t matter to most as long there’s enough available amps to draw from.

And you guys seemed to be most concerned about the amperage. Cause amps for any given voltage makes watts.


Say a dyno only did measure hp and rpm and no one had any idea how much torque they made, it wouldn’t really change anything cause hp and rpm is really the only info you really need.
