READ THE POST
the empisis is on torque because power is made from torque. torque does not drop of as rpm rises exept in an electric motor. If you have a look at a dyno for 'most' engines the torque will continue to rise with rpm untill the engine is not longer breathing properly. This is where cams, induction length, variable intake manifold, extractors ect all come into play to decide the torque band which decides the power band. |

Its all pretty obvious when you think about it, but it helps you picture how all the parts of the car have to work together to get you down the end fast. hi just thought i would throw my two bobs worth in this convo sorry if i missed something earlier cause i havent read the whole posting but the the emphasis is all on torque ?????? remember one thing torque drops of as engine speed (RPM ) increase ??? WHY  ???now my little question since we on about drag racing and so forth is do u change gears down the quarter mile at max torque ??? or do you change gears at max horsepower??? and when your in top gear what should you be crossing the line at max torque or max horsepower ??? just my few questions and im sure someone from St Albans can answer the question PMSFL cya Its all about power. Go back and read it some more (or at lest from page 5 onwards).

torque drops off (slowly) with rpm.
Mine makes about 310nm @ 3600 301nm @ 4000 276nm @ 5000 ...

now im going way of track here
what motor produces max torque at nearly zero revs????? cya

If that's so, and torque ALWAYS gets lower with an increase in RPM, how does it RISE to PEAK torque in the first place? It would be more correct to say that cylinder fill drops off after peak torque is achieved and even then, that's not completely true. There are plently of engines out there with two peak torque figures because of the cam and intake characteristics. So on these engines, torque drops off with rpm after the first peak torque, then starts to rise, shock horror, till it hits the second peak torque figure. I can't believe that so many people are incapable of understanding stockstandard's initial post. I can see there are a lot of people here whom I would not be at all surprised to see driving a car with either a 2.9 diff and 4000-7000 RPM cam, or a 3.9 diff and a 1000-3000 rpm cam |

I don't profess to know much about HP v Torque but there are still a few unanswered questions.
Power = work done in a given time To do the same amount of work in less time you need more POWER To make more power given an amount of torque you have to increase the revs, OR at a specific RPM you have to increase the torque available, regardless of engine characteristics. In Waggins Real world example He probbably spun the wheels a bit more off the line with the XR8 and the aerodynamics probably slowed the I6 at the finish.

And have the gearing set so that when you change gears the revs fall to the peak torque rpm. That is the quickest way to accelerate. |

on a internal combution engine cylinder fill does fall of at higher
RPM

a cam can make the engine fill increase with rpm up to a certain point by having long duration and lift and uses the inertia of the intake air and fuel to keep filling the cylinder even when the piston is moving up, obviously not too far up.
