Hp/Torque

Nearly everyone here is actually talking about POWER in certain rpm ranges, no matter how it's expressed. Ya know how I know that? The constant reference to rpM. If that "M" is there, then we are talking about power, a measurement over time. You can build your motor to put the power where ever you want it in the rpm band and arguing about whether it's torque or HP is just silly. You know, mathematics being what they are.
