torque is low-end power at the low-mid rpm range, and hp is high-end power from mid-high rpm range. as u add mods to increase ur hp, they also automatically increase your torque. so you cant have torque without hosepower, and viceversa.

Torque is measured, horsepower is calculated.
HP = (Torque*rpm)/5252
On dyno sheets, the torque and hp curves always cross at 5252 rpm. Below 5252, the torque curve is higher than hp, and above 5252 hp is higher than torque.
HP = (Torque*rpm)/5252
