Default High end and low end ? ? ?

High end torque means the engine will accelerate faster at higher RPM or higher speed ? ? ? ? ?

Low end torque means the opposite ? ? ? ?

example . . . if my machine is good in high end torque . . when i'm at 1st gear . . . my engine power will be more powerful and pick up faster at let say 7000 RPM compare to 2000 RPM ? ? ? ? ? ?

Simple . . If my car have high end torque . . it means that my car is more powerful at high RPM and not speed correct ? ? ? ? ? ?

Sorry for the Ignorance question Someone correct me please

There's no such thing as a stupid question, just stupid people who ask them

Just kidding

As for your question, well you pretty much explained it yourself: If an engine is said to have high end torque, it generates a more powerful twisting moment at high RPM compared to an engine with less torque at the same RPM. As I understand it torque is what really supplies the power to turn the wheels and give a car it's ability to accelerate. I'm a little tired so I'm rambling, but I hope that's of help to you. In short- you've got the right idea already
