Is the only on correct.

Torque is how HARD your engine turns the wheels... the more is manages to do this in a set time the more power it has.

So as such BHP is meaning less, its simply a formular:


max torque x rpm that it happens at
---------------------------------------
5252



This is why a rolling road or dyno measures torque as BHP is a function of torque!
