Sorry, he (T88H34G supra) is right torque will always cross at 5250 hp is just a calculation done as a figure of torque and what rpms.

Well maybe in 1960 but today as important as displacement is there is no replacement for technology. If I had a dollar for every time I have stomped a big block (even before the blower) I would be a rich man. Technology does a lot to make litte motors do some amazing things, sure with the same give technology and power adder will make more power but I would not expect ford to release a 514 with DOHC, twin turbos and variable valve timing any time soon. There is a lot to do with what makes power on a give engine and its a lot more then just boost and cubic inches.
