wat mods do wat? ive read that some mods are for horse power and others are for TQ.

 

be honest im more worried about my tq numbers rather than my hp numbers

 

i think they go hand and hand really...now when you add things that add fuel at the bottom end that would be more tq oriented i would say and then when you add fuel up top that would be hp more...maybe

 

isnt tq just a measure of hp divided by RPm or something like that

 

torque has alot to do with airflow

 

i think you might have something there, if you can get the turbo to light faster then your gonna make more torque at the bottom...

 

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.

 

haha im not that good at math! and what deos the "r" stand for??

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

 

The r is for revolutions. And yes both are increased with mods tourqe is the initial power applied wher hp is the sustaining power more torque=more pulling power as well. You can have a million hp and not be able to pull a damn thing if you ain't got no tq so ya
