im in a lil debate over turbos. ive always thought a turbo adds much more HP then torque. i know it adds torque (cuz the added HP needs increased torque) but the torque would be relative to the HP would it not?
i mean if you had 500hp with no method of spinning the tires... uh yah...

im not sure i worded this correctly but meh i hope you understand.
 
hp is a function of torqe and rpms.

if you don't change the rpms, the torque must change.

.......(torque X rpm)
hp= -----------------
........ 5250

So many people don't know what hp really is and how its just torquexrpm\5252

www.howstuffworks.com Is the biggest help ever.

It got me through gettin gkicked out daily of my ap principles of technology class with an A-.
 
yea, there is no way to measure horsepower. what we can measure is rotating force (torque) of a motor. therefor, horsepower is dependent on torque.
