I'm pretty sure he knows that's silly.

But since I attach no importance to the torque output of an engine (I
care about power output, power spread, and efficiency) I've never
bothered to work out what units he means.

It sounds like ft lb from the numbers he quotes.

But I am not so sure he DOES know what torque is.
