Yes, the hp and torque curves for a given engine cross at 5250 (actually hp
= ft/lb of torque at 5250 rpm). What I was referring to was the point at
which the SU hp curve crosses the Solex hp curve (same for torque curves).
Below 4000 rpm, the SU makes more power; above 4000 rpm, the Solex makes
more.
