okokok...

why is it that HP, Torque and all that other BS is not posted at the same RPMS???? If your saying one is 150HP at 4000 RPMS and the other is 200HP at 5000 RPMS I'm getting no usable information from the statement.

you are if thay're measuring peak HP, it's not like every engine makes its peak hp and tq at the same spot

oh to RS and CRS, 1) autos have about 20% drivetrain loss whereas manuals have about 15%, it goes by percent not aflat amount of HP

2) there's a reasonb that FWD engines are mounted one way and RWD are mounted the other... in FWD the powers going in one direction until the wheels, in RWD it's going in one direction till the axles... although now that i think about it it never changes direction...

See... now you made me go and learn something. Soooo.. Those numbers are the MAX torque / hp output and the engine's rpm level to attain them. Right???

Correct, so when you say your 454 produces around 500 HP at 6,500 RPM.. it IS pushing 500 HP at that RPM level. BUT until then it's only pushing about half of that until it builds up in the RPM range.
