Ben, here is where I'm at. These guys say it much better than I can in limited time.
Here is a calculator you can play with.
As Thomas Andrews would say: "tiz a mathmatical certainty."
If you play with this calculator for awhile you will know if you have an engine that makes 1000 ft/lbs at 1000 RPM you "will" make 190.4 HP. "Tiz a mathmatical certainty." If you jump the RPM to 2000 and keep the torque at 1000 ft/lbs tiz a mathmatical certainty you will get 380.8 HP.
I "know" 5252 is the point that torque and HP will cross on a chart. "tiz a mathmatical certainty."
All the above are mathmatical certaities just as one will never make power (read HP) with gears.
You cannot make HP with gears, but since your engine does not have a flat HP curve you can certainly affect the amount the HP your engine is producing at the time by using gears to change the RPM it runs at for a given load & road speed.
