Rounded numbers... equal HP over 2000 rpm spread with 500 rpm range difference

617 ft lbs tq 8500 rpm = 1000 hp... 656 ft lbs 8000 rpm = 1000 hp
689 ft lbs tq 8000 rpm = 1050 hp... 735 ft lbs 7500 rpm = 1050 hp
693 ft lbs tq 7500 rpm = 990 hp.... 742 ft lbs 7000 rpm = 990 hp
713 ft lbs tq 7000 rpm = 950 hp.... 767 ft lbs 6500 rpm = 950 hp
666 ft lbs tq 6500 rpm = 825 hp.... 722 ft lbs 6000 rpm = 825 hp

Torque equals how much work. Horsepower equals how fast work gets done. One is obviously working harder to get same total work done in same amount of time.

Same weight and whatever it takes for both to be able to acheive same speed at end of quarter...

Smarter racer wins! Correct Jack???

About Us

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
