HP = torque x rpm / 5252
So for example say a motor is making 300lb ft @ 1500rpm, and 300lb ft @ 2500rpm but only 280lb ft @ 3500rpm
This equation allows us to derive the HP being produced:
1500rpm = 86bhp
2500rpm = 143bhp
3500rpm = 187bhp
So even though at 3500rpm the engine is producing less torque than it does at 1500rpm it's actually making 2 1/2 times more power. Which in terms of accelaration will make a big difference.

stock, at 2500 my dyno shows over 300ft/lb of torque peaks to around 318ft/lb at 4k or so then only drops to around 298 ft/lb after 5200rpm...
the torque curve from what I could gather starts to really pick up at 1500rpm to 1800rpm. Between 1800-2500, you probably have more than 200 ft/lb at your disposal...
It's not the engine, it's the user feeling it. It's a very deceptive engine because the jump to it's near peak torque is within a few hundred rpm.
