I believe the intake type, single plane versus a dual plane, and the compression ratio have a lot to do on when the motor will make peak torque and HP.
The carb and cam size are a real player on that also of course work
I've notice that most of the pump gas street motors I've built and dyno tested, stock stroke or stroked, will make more torque than HP if the compression ratio is under 10.5 to 1, above that they tend to make more HP than torque shruggy work scope
