If you take engine reliability out of the equation, more rpms = moar powah. This is why NASCAR pushrod V8s rev to 8500 rpm and F1 engines rev to infinity.

Doesn't matter. A horsepower is a horsepower. Unless it's a monkeypower...



Anyway, more RPMs are good, because then you can run silly short gear ratios and get more torque to the ground via mechanical advantage. I'll take 150 ft. lbs. at 9000 rpm over 400 ft. lbs. at 3000 rpm, provided it's in a race car that cankeep the engine spinning in its effective range using the right gears.
