That's correct! Most engines will generate maximum torque (twisting effort) at a much lower speed than maximum hp. Hp will generally increase as rpms increase until the engine can't breathe efficiently, or until something comes apart. As the engine speed increases beyond the torque peak, hp will continue to increase until torque falls off too fast to be compensated by increased rpms.
