    Torque bud, torque. Think of hooking your engine to a water dyno. What's it going to take to spin it 5500 rpm? torque.

    Yup, House Springs, just SW of St. Louis by a half hour. Most of my money goes into a big hole in the mud surrounded by 4 tires, but I'm really considering starting dumping my money into a hole in the water surrounded by a fiberglass hull. Whaddya think, good idea?

    But how do you get HP with no Tq ???????
    That's exactly what I was being sarcastic about. It cracks me up to hear the question "Does it take torque or horsepower?" with no concern as to what rpm range the engine makes power.
    I'll take a torque motor, just give it to me at 6,000 rpm.

    probably the most important thing to remember is, you need to match your pump to the engine.
    For instance, the engine I built was to put in front of a Panther pump which has an impeller fairly equal to a Berk B. The peak tq is at 4400 and the peak hp is at 5800, with a Panther, the engine would probably get there. Just before I finished the engine, I bought a boat with a Berkeley pump and an A impeller. My engine can only get to about 5100 rpms so I'm leaving quite a bit of power in the motor.
    Had I not had the tq, the engine wouldn't even be able to get to the 5100.

    doesn't it depend on the size of the wagon wheels?
