[QUOTE="Binder, post: 1344530, member: 16063"] Who said that? Where? That would be the torque at that specific RPM but not peak torque. Why do you feel the two should be different? I'll elaborate on this more in a separate post.... I would rather tow with the Cat as I'm sure it would last longer but based on the information you've given they would accelerate equal. Torque is not a power measure it's a twisting force. Force not motion. HP is not a range of power it's a measurement of power or ability to do work. Yes you can figure HP if you know the other two as it's derived from the other two. You can also know RPM as it's a given number but it takes the other two to figure it, reverse engineering. You can't calculate RPM knowing only HP or torque, you need both or measure it directly. Torque can be measured directly WITHOUT RPM because it's not a motion. That's the point! HP is a combination of torque and HP. You need RPM to do work as no RPM means nothing is moving. Torque at a RPM is HP! By saying your engine makes 970 ft-lbs at 2300 RPM is a long way of saying 425 HP.... [/QUOTE]
