Why the obvious apple and orange comparision?



To refute the statement that "more speed is more power."


You need to compare engines of equal size.



OK, Lets do it!

Dodge 5.9 Liter v8 gasoline engine: 230 horsepower at ~5000 RPM

Compared to:

Dodge/Cummins 5.9 Liter turbo-diesel engine: 325 horsepower at 2900 RPM


More speed is NOT more power any more than more torque at the same
speed is more power.



uh?


huh. Read it again.


More torque at the same speed *is* more power.


That's exactly what I've been saying. You can get more power by
increasing torque OR rpm or both.
