Top end meaning less hp than the HR.

What I did read is that the ft/lbs of torque in the 370 isn't that much over the 350's. Weird. They increase the hp way over the 350's, but the ft/lbs of torque just slightlty so.

higher redline and higher peak power is the caused the tq has not increased. Higher the motor revs, less tq it has.

I was kinda dissapointed that Nissan upgraded from a 3.5 to 3.7 but torque stayed the same and hp barely went up

I think an under drive pulley might solve what most of us are experiencing

Not entirely, but it definitely makes it quicker to wind up to redline. On the bottom end, it feels a tad more responsive and easier to drive. I think it's something about the throttle mapping.
