And you're not helping BECAUSE YOU CAN'T HAVE HP WITHOUT TQ.
This question is way too simplistic to have a definitive answer, it depends on gearing, vehicle weight, and most importantly the area under the curve.
No, it is not too simplistic.
It is a conceptual problem.
let's forget about gearing and weight.
All I would like to confirm is at point of the T/HP the engine will accelerate more:
at Max TORQUE or at MAX HP ???
I always thought the TORQUE was the main factor (and then you said they are related, yes they are, BUT the PEAKS occurs at diff RPMs, right?) and that is causing the confusing part.
