The importance is not in who built it or what size it is. The importance is in the compression ratios, the operating range of the cam, the DCR, the timing curves, etc, etc.

But since you're singling me out, I'd say most of the engines that I build would pull down that far without issue. The "others" that I build are higher strung and just don't need to be loaded in lower rpm ranges.

Dynos are used for generating curves and determining peaks. If you build and cam the engine for the operating range that you desire, the general curve should follow that design, and you shouldn't have to worry about how much hp you have at 2000-2500 rpm.
