Oh sorry, I've been having a rough day yesterday. I was not at full mental capacity.

So... Yes you need horsepower, but you cannot make horsepower at whatever rpm without torque. Horsepower = Torque in lb-ft multiplied by RPM then divided by 5252.

Those 1/4 mile calculators can be in the ballpark sometimes, but the car setup must be perfect.

No ****? You need RPM to calculate HP???

Seriously, you can’t be serious. No one ever says I need more torque to go faster. No one.

Just by innate osmosis people realize that horsepower is King. That’s why we want more of it.

Torque is a fools errand. Guys building for “torque” always end up with tractor engines.
