No way does a 360mag only make 80ft-lbs of tork at 5k rpm. Whoever made that graph doesn't have a clue what they're doing. Never mind the torq and hp using different scales for some reason, that makes no sense either, no reason to do that for a motor that makes not a huge amount more torq and hp.

Engine dynos measure torque, the horsepower is calculated from the torque and speed at that torque reading. ASSUMING the torque units are foot-pound, if you take the torque peak of 330 foot-pound at 2000 rpm, the equation is 330*2000/5252 = 126 Hp which is radically different from the curves.
