Turtle n Peeps,
You're going to need to lay off the sauce as you don't have a clew as to what HP vs Torque is and especially when towing/moving heavy loads or rigs. HP has never turned a vehicle drive ever, not even 1 millionth of a revolution as ONLY torque (the force) will do it, period! Only TORQUE turn the drive wheel/wheels and up to the RPM desired. Go peddle your useless jibberish to semi-driver, if you dare, and be prepared for them quickly telling you how dumb you are.
Most truckers have a whopping 450-500 HP but have 1600-2000+ torque and they move their 80,000 lbs just as fast down the same road as your inept same HP with lacking greatly in usable torque gas engine does with a rig weight of only less than 20,000 lbs total. DUH! How can that be or don't you begin to have a clew???
Add in that they do it with their low HP production diesel engine far more efficiently and for many times the miles any production gas engine could or would before it wouldn't even be able to run anymore let alone pull a load. You need to acquire some ed-ja-ma-ka-shun so you don't look so incredibly spaced out with your gearhead mentality blabber in your HP vs Torque post writings!
Back to the forum members how actually do know what they are talking about!
