Torque and horsepower ratings together help to explain the power curve of an engine They are both valuable numbers.
If a gasoline engine with 440 hp at 5800 rpm and a peak torque of 465 lb ft at 3400 rpm was stuck in a f350 with a rear end gear ratio of 7.1:1 it could be expected to pull identical to a 440 hp Powerstroke diesel installed a similar truck with 3.55 gears.
I would agree only if the gasoline engine was turbo charged or if they are only operated at sea level.
