Are you comparing a boss with 3.73 gears to a normal gt with 3.31's. So yea boss will be faster with quicker acceleration. Torque is what gets you out of the hole on the track. Hp keeps you pulling. So back to your post yes hp is great but without torque your car will not 60' foot well, but pull hard with the high rpms.
Like wbt said dyno numbers dont always mean faster times.
I have several race cars and street cars. Only 2 ever seen dynos. 1 just cause we wanted to try it and 2nd I needed a dyno tune. The real dyno is in the track time
