Boy there are many on this Forum that do not understand Horsepower and Torque.
At a given engine RPM and throttle setting gears and transmissions can not and do not change the horsepower that is delivered to the rear wheels.
Gears and transmissions can only change the torque delivered to the rear wheels which also changes the rear wheel rpm for a given engine rpm.
If anything the gears and transmission will lower the horsepower delivered to the rear wheels due to losses in the gears and transmission.
