Mdmnfn: its like 4 mexicans picking apples
CaptainHenreh: oh boy. I gotta hear this.
Mdmnfn: if they aren't there,they can't be doing it fast
Mdmnfn: but you can do more work with more of them there(torque),and you can also make them work faster(hp)
Mdmnfn: it just depends on what you want them to do
CaptainHenreh: well, you can either have more mexicans (more torque) or work them harder (higher revs) to get the same work (horsepower)completed.
Mdmnfn: right
CaptainHenreh: but Mexicanpower would offend someone, I'm sure.
and later in the conversation went on, the word "coronacharger" was invented.
waits for further responses.
