How far to rev this 273 commando build

I dont fully understand it, but for example you have a "normal" diesel genset. Any that I've seen rev nowhere near 5200 rpm, but there is hp and torque? So that would mean for this example the 5200 is theoretical?

5252 is a constant, used in the math. It could turn 1 RPM or 1/4 RPM and it would still "figure." You are overthinking this, Steve. Dynos measure TORQUE period. It is that simple. HP is calculated from that, traceable clear back to Watts (the guy Watts) and steam engines and horses.
