Torque doesnt always necesarily make a car faster, But it does feel nice. Its good to have about the same tq/hp. Buttt, you want the torque down low, before the hps kick in. A 1j that did have the same torque via boost, would make it at a higher rpm than a larger motor, which is no fun. For the tq thing....think of how fast a tractor trailer is with and without a trailer. They make like 2500 lb ft of torque, not to sure on them, but its high. And they are hardly any faster with no tralier because they only have about 350 hp. Now stick a motor with even 1000 hp and 2500 lb-ft of torque in there, And...fast ass truck. And it can still tow a tralier.
