You've yet to realize that many engines make their peak torque well below their redline - ala 1800 - 2800 rpm.
Or are you working that in to your self-proclaimed torque formula?

THe only ways to increase torque significantly are to increase engine displacement, or increase the volume of air admitted in the cylinders for combustion (i.e. turbocharger or supercharger). The NOS will also yield results.
As far as physics are concerned, lets just say that we have some failures early in this thread!

Those were in my Physic's classes in my university.
