Torque is force at a distance. HP is a measure of energy (the ability to do work.) Got the degree and 40 years of building fast machines. HP and torque are in fact closely related and as we both know,

HP = Torque x RPM ÷ 5252

so with a properly geared machine HP and torque are effectively equivalent measures of potential performance.

I’m impressed Garth, lol. You still don’t get it. Torque as measured in your shoulder sockets or the seat of your pants, not some BS formula that such equals such. I’ve been on Ford Tractors that did wheelies. Good thing you brought up gearing, I was about ready to include you in the company of Ankit. Sprocket size has a great deal to do with preceived torque and of course gearing ratio.
