If your making HP at higher RPMs, that's essentially less torque, than the same HP at a lower RPM.Which is precisely my point. Making 400hp at 3000rpm puts far more torque through the transmission than revving the engine to take advantage of the horsepower formula's RPM bias.
So, back to the question, 400hp at what RPM? Are we talking a VGT turbo / supercharged torque monster or too-big turbo RPM queen? I've seen many of both from the Finns.
