Boating related or not. Was always told Torque is what gets you moving and the Horse power keeps you going on top end. True false difference of opinons.

All kidding aside, do a search on this forum on the great debate. There was volumes written on this subject fully equipped with charts, graphs and endorsements from satasfied customers.
Yes.
Yes.
One hot buttered popcorn coming up!
Make that two will ya!..
One more right here 058, and make it a LARGE one please, extra butter. :argue:
What it really comes down to is this.
Torque is a hard, measurable, physical, property of an engine's output. The twisting force generated by the crankshaft, measured in foot-pounds.
Horsepower is a mathematical abstraction derived from torque level and engine RPM. I do not know what the equasion is, but that is how the number is arrived at. Horsepower number will climb as long as torque level does not drop excessively fast while RPM climbs.
And yes, there HAS TO BE something like 100 threads on "Torque vs Horsepower" arround here somewhere.
Diesel engines one is 300 hp 860 ft lbs tq the other is 310 hp and 950 ftlbs tq.
Yes i know the second will pull harder. Diff being one is much bigger engine like almost 3 liters worth is the extra tq going to carry down the road that much better.

Too bad the mods pissed him off and his vast store of knowledge isn't available. :crossx: :220v: :skull:

Does that means no calculations, graphs, charts and personal endorsements?
