1. Anthony Says: I need an example of what horsepower does and what torque does.... then an example of High vs low end torque
2. mdk68gto, ase certified m tech Says: torque is the twisting force that an engine develops. horse power is an engines ability to do work. as for the high or low end, it depends on where the peak power is developed. low end torque would be below 4000 rpm as an example. high end would be above that rpm.
3. Amanda B Says: And 'generally accepted that the torque curve is a better leader power curve.

Where you want to pair in the management of speed.

WRC is now playing in a 4-speed boxes, because they are able to increase torque, enough to save them all on the march. The theory is changed to avoid the change in phase of times faster than the driver is not so often marches.

Thanks to the couple how it is developed for the SS / measured, I do not think you can extend the torque range of higher power, but I think it a night to remember

In other words, you can always use a gearbox and clutch "swap" power to the couple. An extreme example of this was the 12 gear bikes run on the Isle of Man TT in the 60's. They had a little band of usable power and almost no torque, so the riders the tools used to keep the engine in that narrow band.

Of course, if you start changing the gears to get the best acceleration, then you're probably not going to lose some flexibility to modify the original manufacturer excelled in doses
