Nope, didn't forget - I was reading the post as "maximum horsepower".
Increasing the torque at any given rpm will indeed increase the
horsepower at that rpm.

Hi Dave,

In case you forgot, horsepower is equal to torque X rpm divided by 5252.


So if the torque is increased, then by definition the horsepower is also
increased. It's the "law." Maybe this doesn't affect MAXIMUM horsepower,
but there IS a Horsepower increase.
