Sometimes ago,I have read this.Under square engine,(higher
torque less hp.)rev lower.Some people called it lazy engine.
Over square engine (higher hp. less torque)are design to
have a higher redline.They called it screamer.
Examples:Benzman's car 121hp-170lbs.ft of torque=4,800 redline.
Acura NSX 270hp.-209lbs.ft of torque=7,800 redline.
