I'm a little confused by the details in your post.

First, do you have a set of data points? If so, then drop them into Excel and then use the graphing function to create a nice graph. Easy to do, should take like 5 mins.

If you only have max HP and RPM numbers, then you are not going to be able to graph anything other than one point. You need more data points as each car will create different HP and TQ numbers at different RPMs. The points will not be linear, but somewhat parabolic in shape. There is no formula for determining HP/RPM points down the range from peak - the possibilities are inifinite.
