If the question was 570 HP @ 6700 versus 600 HP @ 8000; is the choice clearer.
if the 600 Hp was at 18000 RPM the choice should be painly clear. HIS
Gearing & rev range have inertia & take power, yet what is the engine power (HP) across the applied rpm range? Power is power, yet we need POWER over applied rpm range.
TQ converters that really really really work may allow an argument favoring the higher RPM engine. me thinks the really effective converters can be had for the lower rpm engine for better TQ-multiply. so the better converter argument is for another thread. Otherwise, where's that ideal CVT transmission?

I love ya man but you'd be wrong. Example; my converter flashes to 7000 i shift a 8100 and it drops to 7300 on the gear change. How much time do i spend NOT between 7300 and 8100? About .2 seconds if that. So who cares what my engine makes below 7300 as long as I can efficiently get it to 7300. My car sure don't care. If I made the same power and operated the engine between 7800 and 8600 IT WILL PICK THE CAR UP. Couple hundredths at least.
