Got the reply smokey.

It's designed to make less torque and have a much higher redline. the redline is probably somewhere in the 14,000 range like my bike. HP is just a measure of torque at RPM so the higher the RPM the more HP measured for a given torque.. The engine isn't any more powerful you can just get more out of it. My bike makes 101 HP but probably only makes 40 ft/lbs. On a car that would be undrivable, on a bike it's damn quick due to the weight difference.
