As renowned engine builder John Ligenfelter said, "nah, hp only sells motors, but tq will win u the race"

Then why do almost all race engines rev high? Hell, even big V8s rev out to.. what? 7500? 8000rpm? Why don't they use truck engines that rev out to 1000rpm and produce shitloads of torque if power doesn't matter?

Peak torque is fairly irelivent if you have correct gearing, as when you change your gearing, you change the torque at the wheels anyway. What you want is a nice flat powerband and then just set the gears up to sit in that, for circuit anyway. Dragracing is different, I imagine. So is road use.

And nobody has answered my question about the top of the combustion chamber in forced induction engines. Sad
