I've been looking around trying to answer this question and I keep comming up blank. Lets say there are 2 engines. Each makes 500 hp, each is a V8, each is naturally aspirated, each will weigh nearly the same. One screams up to 9000 rpm, the other makes that 500 hp at 6000 rpm. So the high rever has a peak torque in the area of 350 ftlbs, the stump puller has about 475 ft lbs. What advantages does the high reving engine have over the other one if they both make the same power? I can list off a bunch of disadvantages but I want to know the other side of the story.

I know that a Camaro forum isn't the best place to post such a question. But its the only car forum I belong to, so I'll work with what I have. Besides, there are enough car guys here that should be able to answer it regardless of personal taste
