first off, id like to thank everybody for explaining..

but isnt hp a measurement of torque and rpms? meaning you have to either have lots of torque or high rpms to make a car fast.. i dont understand where these curves on dynos come from tho, are they from the engine or from switching gears? like what makes a torque or hp curve..

im going to go read several articles on tq/hp/rpm and get more educated, then i will be back
