You won't get max power and max torque at the same time, max torque will come around very quickly on a turbo engine, and max power for a petrol will be very close to the redline. The torque will be slowly dropping off as the power increases towards max.

orite ok cheers when do you get the best proformance then if you know what i mean? coz i had a saxo vtr before my bravo and i found out on the saxo that a 5,500rpm you get the best proformance(bhp and torque together) out of it if you know what i mean.

Well with only 6 gears it's rather difficult to accelerate if you're holding the same revs!

Best performance will be achieved by changing up as it's running out of pull, then changing gear hopefully into the start of the next power band.
