Actually what makes a car faster is horsepower. Imagine 5000 ft lbs of
torque at 1 RPM, how quick do you think your car will be?
Maybe you can explain how you increase torque without increasing HP?
I'll give you a hint: You can't. Increase the torque at any given RPM and
guess what? You have increase the HP.
I wouldn't listen to this guy, he doesn't even understand the high school
physics behind what he is talking about.
