I understand the differences of torque vs Horsepower on paper but how to apply them in the real world is a different story.
Ford offers a couple power packs. Some give low end torque boosts while the others give high end power. If my thinking is correct a drag racer would want high end power as they spend more time up top and also wouldn't the low end torque lead to more wheel spin during launching?
Whereas someone who does track days would probably prefer the torque to help push out of corners.
Is my thinking at all correct here?
