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....

To clarify, the figures on the avo brz are in whp, but I'm waiting to do the dyno here for figures that are relevant to the US Market (and most other international markets).
(YEAH, I'm bored at work...) This same issue came up when AVO posted the first JDM graph....
