HP is not directly measured in either case. It is based on an equation
using the torque and RPM. In a normal auto engine the torque and HP both
have a peak number. That is the number most often quoted. If the cooling
system is properly designed for the engine it will not overheat BUT it
will run warmer than it normally would. However most AUTO engines built
cannot handle running at the max numbers for long because they are made
so light to save fuel.


The rule of thumb we used for sizing brakes for overhead crane motors
was:

5250 X RPM / HP = torque

Should be able to get the HP as the unknown with a little algebra.
