The 'official' hp and torque curve on the Magnum 5.9V8 gasoline engine at Dodgeram.org is a reproduction of the graph in the Dodge advertising - but - there is a printing mistake on the torque curve.

The torque curve line is 'reversed' like a photograph that was enlarged wrong.

The left side of the torque curve should be the right,
and the right side should be the left.

If you are familiar with the formula for horsepower
= (Torque x rpm)/5252

you can easily check this out and see for yourself.
