no that is not exactly how it works. Torque will get you moving quicker, but the horse power is that end result speed. That is why a kenebell s/c would be an awesome street light to light car.

If you take a novi 2000 mustang and a k/b car on the 1/4 mile, the novi will win. the novi will get off the line first but the centrifugal will pull balls before the line.
