What is torque on bits measured in?
would it be measured in inch-pounds.

A gram isn't a force. Maybe inch-ounces...

torque is always measured in Neuton meters (Nm)

No, but an inch-gram would be force. It would be the force required to move a gram one inch, just like pound-feet of torque is the amount of torque to move a pound one foot.
In the US we generally use Pound-Feet of torque, not Newton Meters like the rest of the world.

Right, but a pound is a measure of weight (force). A gram is a measure of mass. Mass is not weight. Torque is not force. It's work (force*distance). People always confuse metric masses for weights.

I've seen online motor retailers that have them listed in ounce-inches.

does anyone know the torque for a 3.8 motor? or how to find it?

actually for something as small as this you would have to measure TORQUE in [dyne cm]
dyne (dyn)
the CGS unit of force. One dyne is the force that accelerates a mass of one gram at the rate of one centimeter per second per second. Expressed in SI units, the dyne equals 10-5 newton. This is quite a small force: it equals about 2.248 x 10-6 pound of force (lbf) in the traditional English system. The word dyne comes from the Greek dynamis, power.
