jerem0621,
DUH! Without the torque you have NO HP. Revert to the formula for calculating HP as HP is only a calculation NOT measured action. Torque is the froce that turns the drive wheel to what ever RPM you desire. Nothing but torque turns the drive wheel, period! You really need to do some research and review some engineering manuals and get an understanding of Physics and the Law of Physics and motion!
When I am lying there sleeping on the end of a ten foot diving board I am exerting over 800 lb ft of torque on its mountings. How much work am I doing?
