HP and LB FT are allways correlated, and cross at 5250 rpm. That means that let's say, from a mod you get 20% more torque at 3500 rpm, you will also get 20% more HP at 3500 rpm.
If you could run an engine at the same torque output all across the rpm range, HP would increase directly as per rpms.
That is the difference between a PD SC that puts out so much more torque (and HP) at lower rpms, and a Centri that can deliver higher final HP at higher rpms.
Please let me know if I did not make myself clear.

I get the formula and what you are describing but can the 2 charts be compared for which one has more power under the curve? If so, which one has more power under the curve? This would help me understand better.
