Why not, indeed? Like Chris said, horsepower is just a mathmatical equation based on torque and engine rpms. You can figure out an engine's hp simply based on the PLAN equation. It's something like this: P = working pressure of cylinder(s) in psi L = length of stroke (in feet, not inches) A = total area of the pistons in sq. inches N = number of power strokes per minute So then HP = PLAN/33,000. See? I didn't even have to build a damn motor and I can tell you how much horsepower it'll make. Torque is simple...it's easy. It's not a mathematic equation. All things considered I'd want both, but if I had to build for one more than the other, I'd take torque.
