I hope AVO chimes in; but from what I can tell from the chart, the torque is plotted as flywheel BUT the horsepower is plotted as wheel.

Just looking at stock curves:
Torque shows a peak of roughly 160ft-lb
Horsepower shows a peak of 165hp

More math:
At 5000RPM, chart shows roughly 185whp, but at that RPM, torque shows roughly 210w-lb-ft. But calculating for torque based on 185 @ 5000rpm gets us:
Torque = 185*5252 / 5000 which gives us roughly 194.

It also doesn't help that the scale for the two isn't identical. Tuning shops should really adopt some kind of standard way to show these graphs....
