revs and rpm's build horsepower... displacement and turbos build torque....
hp is basically a measurement iin terms of torque... depending on the weight and ability of the car one might be better...example big trucks need more torque to be moved while a motorcycle with a redline of 12000 needs the hp to move.... hp is an equation of hp= (TQ * RPM)/ 5252
