A good example of this in action was the 440 six pack vs the 426 hemi. The 440 was a brutal torque monster with low end power. A stoplight warrior. The hemi was a higher reving engine made for high end torque for nascar racing. In the quarter they produced similar results but they raced completely differently. The 440 would launch ahead at the start and halfway the hemi would start to reel it in. Past a quarter mile the hemi would dominate. Hope this helps.
