Is More Flow Better, Is The Smallest Intake Port That Flows The Most The Best

The reason I can't accept it is because the greater amount of force (TQ) being applied at any given rpm will accelerate the same mass faster.

Yes at any given rpm, different engine operate at different powerbands one of the reasons why we need the hp measurement in the first place.

OK, my final attempt . . .

You are in a turbo-charged car and you are travelling at 100mph holding a steady 5000rpm. To go faster, do you need to increase RPM? No. You can increase boost (which increases torque) at the same RPM and now you can go faster.

What does more tq make at same rpm, more hp, same thing would happen if it was an NA engine with a power band that goes higher more gas more rpm with same basic torque amount possibly less, at peak hp torque is at about 90% of it's peak. Which again more hp.

In the example above, the RPM hasn't made the car go faster – the torque has. It's as simple as that. You can't say that "TQ and RPM is what moves and accelerates a car" when in this case only the TQ made the car accelerate and not the RPM.

In that case increased hp is what made it go faster which was done through more tq and same rpm.

Do you understand that bit? I take all your points, and I even said much of what you have said in my very first post that "Torque moves the car, Horsepower determines how fast it accelerates", but they are not the same thing.

Any movement has an acceleration component. Go zero to 1 mph it takes some acceleration to do that and staying at 1 mph is still distance over time.

We're 99.9% in agreement – I even agree with you that you can't have a rotational force (TQ) without a rotation! But force and power are not the same thing.

F=MA
P=F*v

These equations prove it. P(ower) is not F(orce). If you are not saying that, then I apologise, but it does appear to me that is what you have been saying.

Never said hp is force, you keep acting like tq does everything and rpm and hp play near zero roll, you don't seem to realize any movement car does powered by the engine is work and takes hp to do that work which is tq and rpm.
