The amount of torque made after 5,252 is absolutely relevant. Horsepower is a function of torque made at a specified RPM. The higher the torque and the greater the RPM, the more power.
My car for example makes only 350 RWTQ at 5,252 RPM, but continues to make that amount of torque all the way to 8,600 RPM. That equates to nearly 600 RWHP.
Sure you can make 600 RWHP at 5,000 RPM on a different motor/platform, however in that scenario torque will have to be sooo high that much of it will be lost spinning tires and chassis deflection.
