Okee.. i've been told the Japanese hp measurement system (ps/rpm) is equivalent to our hp/rpm.. is this correct? or do you have to convert it w/ a formula?

as well.... how do you convert kgm/rpm to lbs/ft?
ie. 45kgm/rpm = ?? lbs/ft

any help would be appreciated

uhh.. it's newtons per meter btw...
newton is force... and so is pound (its not really weight but gravity constant stays same for the heights our cars will be driving anyway)
and meter is distance like foot...
pound-force foot (lbf ft) = newton metre (Nm) 1.356
