Not Ranked
The HP numbers you see posted everywhere are the "peak HP" numbers. It usually occurs at high RPM because HP = Torque * RPM / 5252. Torque numbers are also "peak" numbers but occur at lower RPMs. The max torque usually occurs at the RPM at which the engine breaths its best.
For racing purposes it's all about HP.
