This is about torque and horse power. I learned a few interesting tid bits from it. http://vettenet.org/torquehp.html

Pots,
It has been said before that for a street driven car or van,it is far better to build torque in lower RPM ranges where those are normal daily driven RPM's.In drag racing,in general,torque=E.T. and HP=MPH.
