you are doing something wrong.....


u shouldn't be breaking 1 ton shit




also, torq, it is the better "usable" number

shit my buddy got 20ton on his race truck

Horsepower sells cars

Torque wins races

yep bout time someone understands

Old saying



That is simply not how it works. Try to grasp the formula for hp. Torque is the force exerted twisting the crank. Hp is the amount of tq over a given period of time. 1 engine making 400lb ft of torque turning 1000rpm is not transmitting as much power to the transmission as one making 300lb ft of torque at 3500rpm. It is producing 3/4 the power per revolution but turning 3.5x as fast.

This saying is so stupid it blows my mind
Sustained wheel torque over time(horsepower) is all that matters for a performance engine

I always will favor horsepower over torque because peak torque numbers are pretty much meaningless.
More RPM = More available gearing = more wheel torque
Also torque is pretty much related to VE and engine size so there is somewhat of a hard cap on it.

Exactly. Thats why 500ci pro stock engines turn 10,500rpm to make 1500hp.
