they both kinda go hand in hand, and theres other variables. HP usually effects TQ, and vice versa.
I mean if TQ didnt matter then 600CC motorcycles would rape everything. They make like 80Ft/lbs, but its actually not that hard to beat a 600cc bike, because why they accelerate fast, they dont have the force (tq) a car does.
But now im getting way outside the scope of my knowledge haha
