In my quest to understand the different engine configurations with the TR25=

Horsepower of the PI cars was reduced from 150 to 125 somewhere around 1972.

The torque ratings of the US cars should be part of the discussion, along
with the rpm's that the peak horsepower and torque readings were attained.
The peak numbers alone only tell part of the story.
