Isn't horsepower a unit of power and torque is just force. We can convert HP into watts but not torque to watts. Heck I can put a bolt on at 150 FT/lbs but can't move it at that rate more than 1/8 rpm so my horse power is very low. It is is two different types of measurement, thats why you need both.
