You're correct, read context my friend can be as much as.
Sall good, you're learning.

Is there anything in particular that affects it? maybe certain cam specs bleed of enough pressure to affect hp, but not tq?
Im not sure how its all connected, but its something interesting to examine...

I would not expect two engines built the exact same way, part for part, using the same blower to differ more than 30RWHP.
Just the fact that two setup using the same blower, if they were not run on the same dyno in the same town on the same day, I would expect to see a difference. Hell I would expect to see a difference on my car from one day to the next.
