torque on a dynograph?

[KSaiyu]

I've read that the torque is always higher BEFORE 5252RPM, but I've seen some car stats showing that their peak torque on a graph is at around 6500 or higher. Then I started thinking maybe they meant that the torque graph is always higher than the HORSEPOWER graph before 5252RPM.

Is this correct?

The key is that the graph *should* cross with horsepower at 5252 rpm. If it doesn't...then I'm not sure why.

Torque is HIGHER than hp until 5250 RPM. The mathematics pretty much makes this a certainty.

Horsepower = (Torque)(RPM)/5252

This doesn't mean that *PEAK* torque cannot occur ABOVE 5252 RPMs. The F20C in the S2000 makes its peak torque near 6800 RPM.

Most street cars make peak torque much lower down the rev range, however. This is largely due to consumer preference rather than engineering.

I see, thanks for the explanation 👍
