*cough* other way around. Dyno measures the drum acceleration at X mph over X time (aka "work" over "time"...with a intertia drum dyno anyway) which is converted to HP then converted to engine torque

In short, torque is a static measurement. It does not involve movement and time. As soon as time and movement is involved, its HP. HP is a dynamic measurement. (ie real-world)
