I'm telling you HP ain't everything.
I'm afraid it is. Torque is a static measurement. RPM is a measure of speed but isn't an indication of force. Torque means nothing without rpm in our application. RPM without torque also means nothing in our application. The two together are known as horsepower, the measurement that determines how fast we go from point A to point B. There's no getting around it. Horsepower is it.
OK then tell me where I can meet you and I will bring my 365 HP diesel and a trailer loaded to 60,000# and we will see how your gaser does. Yes I said 365 hp and somewhere around 1,800 lbft of torque. The truck will already weigh about 15,000 empty so that should give you an added advantage. We are talking about holding speed on a 6-12% grade for let's say 3 miles right? Are you game???
