dude...formula is right, but your units are wrong. torque units as used in this formula are in FOOT-LBS not INCH-LBS

I believe this is not entirely correct...if this is referring to inch pounds...




Torque (foot pounds) X RPM =HP
5252

Is the correct formula...

I've drivin both and the v-8 definitely has more oomph and straight speed . But , in all honesty the handling on the v-6 seems better,quicker, and more fine tuned.
