I was looking at the hp/tq numbers of the Boss, did the math.....HP = tq x rpm / 5252 (380 @ 4500) and came up with 325.59hp?
New Boss 302 FWHP
At any given RPM, the flywheel horsepower at that RPM is the product of the engine's torque (ft-lbs) times the speed in RPM divided by 5252. The new Boss 302 makes 444 flywheel HP at 7400 RPM. The corresponding flywheel torque at 7400 RPM is 315 ft-lbs, down from the engine's maximum of 380 ft-lbs at 4500 RPM.
It is not very common for maximum torque and hp to occur at the same RPM. A possible exception is when the engine makes maximum flywheel horsepower at 5252 RPM.
Hope this helps,
Scott

Gotcha! And at 5252 hp and tq should be equal but not necessarily max.
