thanks.. i "get it". i don't think you do. but i appreciate you talking down to me with your silly candy analogy.

you obviously do realize that horsepower is a calculation of torque and rpm. well, by the same definition, you do realize that it's vice versa for torque as well, right?

hp = (torque * rpm) / 5252
torque = (hp * 5252) / rpm

now think about that for a little, then read this statement of yours.. "the reason horsepower is more valid is because it's calculated from both torque and engine RPM. "
