Torque is more important than HP. Torque is what makes it move. In a =
nut shell, Torque is the low RPM rating and HP is the upper RPM rating. =
when they cross, that's the maximum efficiency of the engine. I've =
seen engines on the dyno have two crosspoints. It's real weird to see a =
dyno computer produce torque and hp ratings like that of a 1200 ci =
cummins in a Kenworth KW600 on a 3.9L or 5.2L.

I see in 1994 they drop 10hp and gain 10ft lbs
What was the main cause for the lose of the 10hp?
Glenn.
