Here's a Simple Explanation that anyone can Understand...Probably.! Engine Torque is simply the twisting force the engine can produce, measured in lb-ft. Horsepower simply incorporates time into the equation, so you will know how fast the engine can spin while producing that torque. Power is expressed in (lb-ft)/minute. If you divide power by 33,000ft-lb/min (1 Horsepower), that converts Power to Horsepower. If you combine all of that math it gives you the Formula for Horsepower... Horsepower = Torque x RPM / 5252.
