It doesn't.
Where are your numbers coming from?
Nope, torque is not power. Never has been and never will be.
To give you an example: On a bike I can put out around 225 Ft/lbs of torque. If I had a 5 foot crank I could put out more torque than a new Cummins 6.7 engine at the crank!
I can put out only about a 1/2 a HP for a short period of time.
Even though I can put out a lot of torque I would not make a good TV engine!
Yada, Yada, Yada :h
No Torque is not power, no way at all.
That is why a Diesel with less HP than a gasser can pull a lot more weight.
My antique 2001 Ram CTD with less than 280 hp,and 288,000 miles does a great job of moving between 19,500 to 20,000# CGVW uphill and down.
None of the HP is everything and torque is nothing, can't seem to explain that to me, oh an i have 3.55 gears to top it off. So now i am really confused as to how i do it.
:h :h :h
Why do you always apply your mileage to every scenario discussed here?
My take away from your statement is you have a low expectation for performance... We get it! But that's OK :B
