I dont think there is an easy analogy that will just "turn on the light". Its not an easy concept at all. I just reread this entire thread and modified my veiws slightly again on some finer points that Shadowboy and Tony and Ostrich brought up.

Can any of you computer genious's out ther make a theoretical dyno graph that will show a flat Tq curve of 300 ft/lbs from 1000 to 7000 rpm and then plot the HP line from that. And then do the opposite of a flat HP line of 300 hp from 1000 rpm to 7000 rpm and then back calculate the Tq line from that info and the put it on a graph?
