3% or less between peak HP and torque is not typical. 7-10% is probably a bit more typical.
Let me refine my earlier remark; I talk to so many car owners who drive their car almost exclusively on the street and want more HP. They never talk about torque. Building a motor for high HP can change the torque curve so that torque comes on at a higher RPM and moves peak HP to a higher RPM. For a street car that's not what you want. Unless you race and run at high RPMs, you want to concentrate on optimizing the torque curve since that's what's really used more on a street vehicle than peak HP that comes at high RPM.
