Message Your displacement and boost will tell you how how much torque you're going to put out, and your cams and how well the engine breathes will tell you at what RPM the engine will produce its peak torque.

Even with the same engine and same amount of torque, you can move your torque curve all around by changing cams. Raise the torque peak up in the rpm range, and you'll increase your HP. Lower your torque peak, and you'll produce less HP.

The formula HP= (tq x rpm)/5252 tells you the basics right there. Keep the torque the same and move the curve around, and you can see how the HP output will change.

I know that you know this stuff Ash, I think you just like stirring up the hornet's nest.
