thgough King pin Angle is probably more car related.
I think it's to do with wearing your tires out in corners

That'd be KPI (king pin inclination)

true, but the angle of the king pin is almost exclusively refered to has KPI, king pin inclination. I belive angle is mostly used a laymans term, and
most probably wouldnt be used shortened into an acronym type thing
edit to add quote (i wasnt quick enough  )

kPa = kilo Pascal = 1000 Pascals
The Pascal is the SI unit of pressure defined as 1 Newton per square metre.
1 kPa = 0.14 psi

isn it the measurement of power akin to BHP my golf I'm sure is measured in KPA may be wrong though
So the Pascal theaory could well be correct if the torque is the measurement rather than the BHP

Maybe you're thinking of PS (Pferdestärke) which is damn nearly an equivalent to Horsepower (HP of course - but not the brown sauce)

I have never heard it called King Pin Angle.
