LOL!!! You're wrong about that, bro. Redefined:
  • HP=(Torque x RPM)/5252

    is the same as saying

    HP=Torque@5252 RPM
In other words, Torque ALWAYS equals HP at 5252 RPM. I have quarreled with boneheads over this fact for years. Look at ANY dyno chart. I can guarantee you that almost nobody knows anything about Torque and/or HP except that more is better...
