By the way Throttle Crazy is my brother so I have to give him a hard time.
you were trying to make a joke, but the fact is that torque and horsepower intersect at 5252 rpm, horse power was invented by James Watt's after observing that a horse could lift at a rate of about 550 foot-pounds per second for about an 8-hour shift. horsepower = torque * rpm / 5252
