Torque is a twisting force measured in foot/pounds. Its a measured at any given rpm or no rpm. When you pull on a torque wrench you are applying torque. Are you turning the bolt or just pulling on it? It doesn't matter. It's going to be different from engine to engine depending on the type of engine and combo. Search out some dyno graphs to get an idea, you can see how much it can vary. Most car people desire a broad, flat, torque pattern.
