Gonzo you may or may not be being misled. but the only way you are being mislead is if the dyno is not properly calibrated or the conditions are not corrected to standard day correctly. At the end of the day, your assumption is correct.

There is a math relationship between HP and Torque that cannot be violated.
Basically:
Power (in HP) = (Torque (ft-lbs) x engine speed (rpm))/5252.

LotusTT you are correct in that statement.
However, your logic runs astray afterward:

That is why the HP vs Torque curves must cross at 5252 rpm, and it is also why Torque generally cannot remain constant as HP increases beyond that rpm

It works like this:
1) The dynamometer measures torque.
2) The Hp value is calculated using your aforementioned formula.
