Obviously, the torque curve and hp curve are different. On the N54 the torque drops from full output at about 5200 rpm; meanwhile, the hp is increasing. Generally you use hp beyond 5200 rpm, not torque (and I'm unaware of a situation where you'd need torque at 7000 rpm). And I know the redline isn't 5200 rpm. You should look at a torque/hp graph of the N54.
