HP vs TQ question
I have done a search but have not found the threads I was looking for. So I'll ask the question.
Can someone explain the relationship of HP / TQ? A commend was made about HP being more important at the drag strip. Another commend about Nascar engines have 800 HP and 400 foot lb. of TQ. I understand that if you want to go 200 mph you need an engine that will turn high rpms to get you to 200 mph but you need TQ to push the car to that speed. What is the ratio?
Thanks
Dwight
