All spining things have both they are the same expressed differently you can't have one with out the other. All be it at one or less RPM its real hard to express HP it is still there.

No, they arent the same at all. Torque and rpm are not a product of horsepower, horsepower is a product of torque and rpm. The first two are very real things, the last is an imaginary equation consisting of the two very real things..

Harely/buell riders always defend toque as if you can grab hold of it.

It is a unit of measure, a unit of Torque can no more be held in your hand than can a unit of HP and is there for no more real. Its just a unit of measure expressed in a different way. Its just a unit used by humans to describe work. Normally foot/pounds but can also be Newton/meter or you can make up your own for the sake of the moment, like say ounces/meter.(oh how dare I mix 2 seperate systems of measure)

No they're not. Hp is a function of tq.
Hp is a way of expressing how much work the tq can do.

Hp is math, tq is the hand of god.

Nothing feels better than twisting the throttle and feeling the hand of God push you until your eyes tear and you see the Angels begging you to back off....

So, because tq can be converted to watts, my bike is a generator?

Watts can be converted to btu, is my bike a furnace as well?

I want a nice mix of both HP and torque, whether they be real or imaginary.

The thing is if i build this car she would be better set up for more torque or its eather go diesel or cut the cams and make it a twin cyilinder four as i will be pulling away in around 3 rd gear

They say Life is a waste of Time, and Time is a waste of Life....so let's all get wasted and have the time of our lives !! I've been dating this girl for a year and now the nagging starts.." I wanna know your name !" and things like that... :-( everyone has the right to be stupid.....I just abuse the privilege !
