With the Stang, I usually launch it at 5000RPM and the truck, well, auto
with no lockup doesn't help...

Torque gets you going and HP keeps you going.

Strip: Launch the truck at about 2200-2500rpm
Street: Drive it normal

All right, what's the difference? I know that if you want to haul something
large you need torque but whats the difference. How can I use the two while
drag racing and/or street (shhh...). I have a 3.9 which peaks torque is at
3000 rpms @ 225 and the peak horse power is 4750 rpms @ 175. How can I use
these numbers?
