I remember an old Roger Huntington article where he had the factory dyno curves for some 60's hipo engines. If they wanted to rate conservatively they pull the HP from below peak. For instance the 426 HEMI was rated at 425Hp @ 5000 rpm when it actually peaked closer to 6000 and 470HP.
Factory advertised ratings were just that, advertised.
