One has torque on it for about four seconds then it shifts...torque again for another six seconds and its over.
The other has CONTINUOUS torque on it for many hours of pleasurable fun..................until it lets go on the bottom end

Torque and HP curves are very different. Generally i believe they come in much lower and there is more separation between the peaks in a marine engine.

A 500hp drag engine is simpler to build and can be done pretty easily with a small block. You can spin it to 7000rpms and don't have to worry about reversion caused by the cam or having it idle at 800rpms.
