More TQ = more HP

You pain me bro.! I see so many times where there is this feeling that torque is some magically different entity than horsepower. They are very closely related. Let me put it this way. Horsepower is how much "torque" your motor is making at a specific "rpm."

HP = Torque x rpm x constants.

You could effectively say with your new motor, "relative to my old 2.0L I'm making much more low-end horsepower" and still be saying "I'm making a lot more low-end torque."

How are things running btw?

Hello j,

Things are well, and thanks for the explanation. I tightened my plates in my head, and I see it now!!
