HP is not the killer torque seems to be from what I have seen. Think TS type stuff with large engines with lots of strokes that are making 4 digit TQ numbers... They are in a LOT of comp cars making good HP from many sources. A1, Joels, Mcclay, ProTrans etc

Yep, torque, and shock loads. As a farm kid, i watched a big truck climbing a sialage pile, and snap an axle in the process. A truck trans in SUPER LOW has a top speed of about 5 mph? That is axle braking torque if you aren't carefull. And the motors wete less than 200 hp. But a ratio of something like 7/1 can wreak havoc if missused.
