Torque vs. Hp

Jim & Tina
Good call whoever it was who found this,always,always trust the Mopar guys because they live drag racing! A very wise man once said: "Horsepower is the quotient of torque versus RPM" See he didn't know either. I've never heard an explanation of HP which I've fully understood,but I know it's related to inertia and the ability to maintain the RATE of acceleration; in our case at an engine's crankshaft. I know what it does just can't put it into words,but, like the old Hemi ads from the '60's say: "It's gotta be voodoo baby!" Anyway the article at the above URL really clears up the when to shift debate IMO. Jim V |
