What is the difference between horse power and RPM and does RPM measure torque and if not how is torque measured?

DynoRpms is revolutions per minute. How many times the engine turns a complete cycle. Torque is measured at the rear wheels(if were talking about a rear wheel drive car). Torque is the true power of an engine. If you have alot of horse power and low torque, the working power of the engine underload will be awful. The best way to measure and only true way is to Dyno the engine
