Yes, but I have some suspicions about accuracy. How would a 5.5L N/A motor make 600 lbft of torque? That's not going to happen. Plus, if you take 600 lbft of torque and multiply by 8000+ rpms (and divide by 5252 to get the correct units), you will get a LOT more than 650 HP.
You can estimate the RPMs that any engine make PEAK HP at by how close or far apart the HP and TQ numbers are. Equal numbers will give a peak near 6,000 RPMS. having 600 lbft and 650 HP suggests a peak HP RPMs of around 6500 or so, which would put redline at 7,000 RPMs. That's a very rough estimate of course, as there are many unknown factors, but any engine that revs to the moon will have MUCH less peak TQ than peak HP. So, the Z06 engine numbers seem to defy physics.
