I hope you can see the picture of the chart

The simple answer is your engine doesn't have the torque where you need it to make the HP you want. This can be due to many things (exhaust, cam, heads, intake, etc.) That's why we test on the dyno and make changes to see if we can make more power (or move the torque we have).
If you could take the peak torque you have of about 350 lb/ft and move it up the rpm scale (eaiser said than done) from 4500 rpm to say 7500 rpm you'd have 500 HP (350 X 7500 / 5252 = 500 HP).
This is why some of us build strokers to make more torque at a lower engine speed to make the power we want.
