Torch, I will never look at any car the same way again.

That’s cheating! You can’t pretend that torque is affected by gearing but angular velocity isn’t. Neglecting losses, it would give you 3189 Nrp @ 364 RPM.

I can’t get into the science of torque and gearing; I’ll just change it back to 290 Nrp.

Basically, power is the product of torque (Nrp) and angular velocity (RPM). With gearing you can increase torque, but you can’t increase power - that makes sense intuitively; you can’t turn a 100 hp engine into a 300 hp engine just by adding a 3:1 gearing behind it. So if the gearing makes torque go up, angular velocity must go down, and vice versa.
