Not really since the high HP numbers come in the high rpm area where the TQ drops off. I cna say that mine is nice and powerful down low and mid range, drives awesome on the street for a 450Hp cammed car.

there*

under 5252 RPM torque will always be greater than Horsepower

Over 5252 RPM horsepower will always be greater than torque.
