Engines produce torque. HP is a derivative of that torque. HP=TQxRPM/5250, so HP is completely dependent on torque production.

Consider this formula....

MKA=AGE x SEX

Where, MKA = Mary Kate and Ashley
AGE = 18
and SEX = when we can bang them legally.

MKA is producing torque, but they aren't making HP until age 18, so we can't make sex with them until a certain RPM... wait...... no, I mean sex with torque...

crap, I messed it up again.
