I thought torque was the force to move an object?You need horsepower to move your vehicle.

I like the saying, horsepower is how fast you can hit the wall, but torque is how far you move the wall after you hit it..
With that line of thinking maybe it's a good thing you're not running 9's and below lol.:lolly:

How about.... horsepower is the ability to do work, but torque is how much work you can actually do....Or BIG TORQUE MATTERS.....
:hehe::hehe::hehe:A skinny hot chick doesn't cook and costs you money, a big girl does it all an the laundry?

To think tractors, trains, semis, and actual working livestock have had it wrong all these centuries.
Horsepower is the rate of acceleration for an object.
Torque is the ability to move and sustain said motion of an object.
Therefore horsepower is a byproduct of torque.
That and "horsepower sells cars, torque wins races" make me laugh. Whenever it's uttered I immediately know that I'm dealing with someone that has no clue what they're talking about.
Ever wonder why the ET calculators use HP and not TORQUE?
Not exactly.
Horsepower is a function of torque and rpm. Both are equally important. Double either and HP doubles. Double both and HP quadruples.
Shift points match the horsepower curve, not the torque curve, ever wonder why?
That's the most idiotic explanation I've read in a while.

Were the bsfcs too high?
And the HP curve is calculated from the TQ curve. Can't just spin it to 10k and expect to make awesome HP, the engine needs to produce some tq up there (obviously less than you need at 5k like you are getting at). Being that HP is a function of said tq, the shift points will match BOTH
I accept your surrender
You're getting there, but not quite...
My Snap On guy said my engines are RPM limited because I use a Torque wrench to assemble them and need to upgrade to one of those fancy Horsepower wrenches.
