That's an interesting point PG, proving that BHP is a function of torque and revs. I've taken the numbers from my car last time on the dyno and plugged in 331 (lbft) at 2500 rpm. That suggests that at 2500rpm my engine's dishing out about 157bhp. I'll do some more arithmetic and see what the torque figure is at 4300rpm (where power is recorded at 192bhp).

Kind of shows where diesel strengths and weaknesses are.
