I prefer to build a race engine for hp. If I want to build a tow truck I'll build for torque. 
I bet you would agree, that after you reach a very high hp level, you will be looking to enhance every step of the intended rpm range, right? Even if you sacrifice a peak hp spot, but spread out the torque, creating more average hp.
My best hp dyno sheet was not my best dyno pull, the one with the best average hp by 3 or 5 hp is my best overall combo.
One of my reasons for starting this post was to learn ways to move the torque peak up, as my combo goes fastest with the converter way over the present torque high point. Anything I can do to move that point higher will help, provided I don't loose too much in the process.
