It is indeed, and I'm sorry question two was so long coming. I've been busy.

If a car is generating 400nM of torque at 2000RPM, what is the power
output of the engine?

The general formula for mechanical power. (in imperial units) is:-

HP= 2π Nt divided by 33,000

HP = horsepower.
N = rpm
t = torque in lb ft.

746 watts in a horsepower.
