How far to rev this 273 commando build

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.

Ok so the 5252 is the given, same as .785 in the cubic inch formula.
