Normal idle on MOST cars is 850 RPM at normal operating temperature. If it is idling that high, you may have binding linkage or the choke is not fully opening. If it is BANGING into gear, you could cause other drive train problems. You may also have a RUN ON condition when you turn the key off.
1) For a given speed, if horsepower increases so does torque. 2) If rpm increases torque DECREASES for a given horsepower. You may have noticed that for a given horsepower rating an 1800 rpm motor develops twice the torque that a 3600 rpm motor does at full load (3 ft-Lbs/hp vs. 1.5 ft-Lbs/hp). Likewise for a given rpm the way to get more torque is to increase horsepower.
