This might seem like a stupid question but I had overheard some people at the track the other day saying that they were looking for ways to raise there torque. One even mentioned that they would be happy to lose some HP in order to gain torque. They weren't driving cobra's but they were in mustangs and doing 1/4 mile runs. I alway's thought you needed horsepower for the 1/4 mile run. Does anyone know what is preferred for the 1/4 mile, horsepower or torque? and why?

Thanks
