A 400 ft/lb engine at 4k rpm and a 800 ft/lb engine at 2k rpm will be putting equal torque to the rear wheels at the same road speed all else being equal. The 4k rpm engine is only working half as hard letting gear ratios multiply torque to the drive shaft while the 2k rpm engine has to produce 400 ft/lbs of torque more to do the same job. The 4k rpm engine is working twice as fast but only half as hard. But to some, it "sounds" like it screaming or struggling when nothing could be further from the truth. But that's their perception. Why screaming at 2-3k rpm? Why not 1400rpm like a real truck? :B
OMG, there is so much wrong with everything said here, I have no idea where to even start. :h Its obvious you don't understand TQ ratings and how they apply to real world.
Go ahead. Enlighten me. I can't wait.
