I'm beginning to lose the will to live.

Power is a function of torque and engine speed. It therefore goes without
saying that maximum power will always be delivered at higher revs than
maximum torque in practice.

That may well go without saying for you, but it isn't intuitively
obvious to me.

It may have said something similar on some website, complete with
diagrams and coloured lines, so I'm not going to tear my hair
out over it, either way.
