Just to show you how peak hp and tq is waaaaay overrated....
Comparing my dyno graphs to Rara's stock '00 SVT w/ K&N... (comparing his best run to my best run)
Rara's TORQUE PEAKS at 156.4, but look where it peaks. Right as soon as the run is started, then goes DOWN tremendously, and averages about 142-143fwtq from 3500-6k rpm.
Now, looking at my graph (dammit I need a scanner), I peak at 155.1fwtq, which is less than Rara's, but I average about 151-154fwtq between 3500-6k rpm, a very solid 10ft/lbs of torque increase throughout that range.
So, keep that in mind next time somebody posts 'peak' HP and peak TQ numbers.
