Power is work over time. Put it this way. If you give us weight, drivetrain configuration, and horsepower, we can accurately predict a 1/4 mile time. However, if you give us weight, drivetrain configuration, and torque, it could be anywhere.

Don't you mean torque + redline RPM? An engine with 10 ft lb could theoretically reach thousands of horsepower if it had a 100,000 RPM redline.
