If I accept that Power = Torque x rpm [and I do...] and I accept that the throatle position remains the same at a lower rpm [and I do...] and I accept that the engine pumps the same mass of air at both higher and lower rpm's and therefore produces the same amount of power, then the force provided must be greater for each revolution ie torque is greater at the lower rpm. Which if I am not mistaken is consistent with the throatle position being the same at both higher and lower rpm.
Please correct any errors I may have made with my high school phisycs and math limited understanding.
