Not sure if we are talking torque or P-factor but the Tucano requires huge bootfulls of rudder early on in the take off run to stop it careering off the side of the runway. The power output of the engine is measured on a torque gauge.

I also fly turbine helicopters and guarantee that even though the engine is not physically connected to the rotors/propellor there is a HUGE amount of torque.
