Actually at 1.27/cube your torque number seems pretty rational for a strong build, although your power peak RPM seems low compared to the torque peak. I usually see +/-1500 RPM between them - your's is a comparatively narrow 1000 - you might have more "in the bank" if you can find out why it stopped there. Or you may have something in the combination stunting the lower RPM torque or forcing the curve upward. I sometimes see really brutal torque "bumps" from IR setups when they hit the resonant tuning length.

I have, however, seen some FE dyno data posted around the net with torque at 1.5 or 1.6 per cube and that simply ain't right. It might happen in a Super Stock or dead serious race package with tons of compression and cam - but not in the land of pump premium and hydraulic rollers.
