tq vs. hp
#7
For a given torque, the equivalent power may be calculated. The standard equation relating torque in foot-pounds, rotational speed in RPM and horsepower is:
P(hp)=(T(ft-lb))(ω(r/min))/5252
Where P is power, τ is torque, and ω is rotations per minute.
As you guys said, feeding more fuel/air in the top end will gain you more horsepower, more fuel and air in low-end will gain more torque. Generally though if you increase one, the other will also go up, it's just a matter of what degree each is affected by the mod.

Yes horsepower is derived from torque. From what I understand torque is what is used to move your vehicle, not hp. Makes sense.
