this is engine torque though, if you gear reduction a 350 ft/lb engine to make 3xxx torque a car with 3319 lb/ft gear reduced would be astronomical, but you dont have to gear reduce because you already have 3xxx lb/ft of torque. they will control this like an electric drill it called a stepp motor, you can have 0.1 lb/ft of torque or 3xxx lb/ft of torque or anywhere in between
