Can someone explain this to me The difference between rwhp and rwtq. For example my car dynoed at 405rwhp 370rwtq. I see some dynos where the rwtq is higher than the rwhp but yet I also see where the rwtq is much lower than the rwhp on other dynos. Why such the differences? Tried searching but didn't get lucky. Thanks.

Torque is something that is actually measured (ft/lbs)
Horse power is an amount of work and is calculated(HP = (Torque x rpm) / 5252
so it kinda depends on of the car is making peak torque down low then the torque will be higher.... if it's making it higher in the power band the the hp will be higher.
