It would get higher or lower depending which country's measurement system you pick.
Yes, I was considering the numbers to be a comparison using the same units from the same country. The original question was why was the torque a higher figure than the jorsepower and not the other way around. Since hp is torque times rpm, they are entirely related. So i was explaining why sometimes one was higher, sometimes the other.
