I will.
If 2 motors make the same peak hp.
Motor A makes it at low rpm 6000.
Motor B makes it high at 9500.
Motor B will be faster down track because, when the hp peak is at a higher rpm the amount of rpm between TQ peak and HP peak is further apart. This means that there will be more average power under the usable rpm cure. The high rpm motor will not fall off as aggressive after TQ peak ,same with after HP peak. The result can only be more average power.
Don't forget that past peak is as important as below peak. If you can make the same HP at peak but not fall off as fast past peak, this will let you raise the rpm of the shift point consequently giving you more power under the curve.
You can get all the TQ you want with gear ratio.
Also I would think the spot that has the best ability to accelerate the car is at hp peak.
TQ is how much work it can do. HP is how much work over a period of time.
We race time
