Power is the amount of force per unit of time. Presumably you have an n/a engine? You've probably made some mods that have a greater effect at higher revs than at lower revs.

hp and torque are in complete relation to one another. i'd have to look up the equation, but horsepower, torque and rpm are all related. moving a torque curve affects horsepower directly. i believe its also common for rotaries to hit their max torque much later than piston engines. bringing up v8s is next to irrelevant. yes, they make lots of torque, but some turbo rotaries have "v8 sounding numbers." 20B were rated at 280hp and 296tq. true, its a 20B, but its still a rotary. likewise, certain mods done to a v8 may give it much more horsepower than torque.
horsepower = torque * rpm / 5252

HP = (TQ*2.0*PI*RPM)/33000.0
TQ = (33000.0*HP)/(2.0*PI*RPM)

did you ever get a good scan of your dyno? if so, i never saw one floating around. if you want to check your numbers (which would be a waste of time), i posted a couple of the equations. thing is, dynos dont read horsepower, they calculate it. then they can correct it to give "corrected" numbers (measuring a few variables such as barometric pressure and humidity and adjusting them).

i believe its the Camden/Atkins FI kit. i'm sure it mentions it in his other (5 page) thread about it. hell, it may be in the title.
