Hp vs Tq Ran a bud of mine Supra against my Camaro turbo.
I have a 70mm turbo and he has a huge GT45(88mm?). I put down 505rwhp. I officially don't know what my bud put down but heard he made 625hp from another buddy of mine.
I beat him in a roll from about 40 up to 120.

After the race he was impressed and shocked. He really didn't make an excuses on him losing.
Here's a dyno sheet with a similiar size turbo on a Supra http://supraforums.com/forum/showthread.php?t=416640
torque is 409 and my dyno was 536rwtq.
So the big question is, does tq mean more than hp?

Depends...
The torque curve as a whole determines how quickly a vehicle accelerates.
If you carry a large amount of torque higher into the rpm band, you will see higher hp numbers. Engines produce torque and hp is only a measurement of torque over a given rpm.
Honestly, to explain hp vs. tq, I could fill five pages in this post. Search google for about an hour and you will most definately find the info you are looking for.

A GT45 is a laggy *** turd at low boost...
Good kill.
I had a smaller 71mm turbo and made 649rwhp and 574rwtq on pump gas at 20 pounds of boost (low boost on my car).
