I'm going to assume since you've been on here for 6 years with 3700 posts that you already knew that, and were only kidding.

LOL.

Torque and HP are functions of each other. You can't make TQ w/o HP, and vice versa. But if you have something that makes 1000 TQ and 200 HP, it's going to be super slow, but if you had something that makes 200 TQ and 1000 HP it will be fast.

TQ is the force put out by the engine, and HP is the amount of actual work done by the engine.

Torque doesn't matter. Never has, never will. Oh, and RPM doesn't matter either. 500 HP @ 7000 RPM is the exact same as 500 HP @ 10,000 RPM.
