367 vs 410 Engines Masters
I said power, not torque.
Never said you didn't and agreed with you the 410 makes a lot of end power.
You can try to minimize the importance of torque but as I'm sure you know there is only one way to increase the horsepower at any given rpm. You have to produce more torque. There is no way around it.
I'm very well aware of that fact, just said torque by itself don't tell you much hp tells you engines potential.
Hp and torque are not independent of each other.
Hp is torque and rpm, basically torque is the average force per revolution, hp is the sum of all those revolutions.
If you look at the graph and see that one motor is making more horsepower than the other at any given rpm it's because it's making more torque than the other motor at that rpm.
I'm very well aware of that fact, what you don't want to see is they each have a different powerband the 425 hp 323, 423 hp 367 and the 431 hp 410 all have separate powerbands that start and stop at different rpm, generally smaller engines that make similar power than larger engines operate at higher rpms, 323 peaks @ 6,200 rpm, 367 peaks @ 5,800 rpm, 410 @ 5,500 rpm and when you compare each engine actual powerband to one another there very similar. And if you take advantage of each engine through gearing stall etc.. each car will be turning different rpms at any given mph so it don't matter if one engine makes more hp @ X rpm, what matters what power is being put to the ground at any given mph.
Yes of course you don't have to gear right still doesn't change they each engines powerband makes similar hp, I imagine behind that 410 crate there's all kinds of different gears and stalls being ran and given different performance but does that change they all have the same potential don't matter if the owner takes advantage of it or not it's still there ?
You don't have to look at a torque curve to know that.
