Well, my peak torque is about 5500 and my converter never goes below 6000. Stacy's never goes below 6500. I built a converter for the peak torque and the car slows down 5 tenths. I again tried to do the same converter and multiply it back out in rear gear to equal out the gear multiplication I lost, and it was still 2-1/2 tenths slower.
Horsepower is the true potential of a race engine. It tells you the abillity to enhance the torque using time and gear multiplication. Yes it all starts with torque, but it doesn't end there.
