Um...
Some argue that HP is more important then torque when moving a load.
Not so.
Torque, espically low end torque, is whats needed to get the load moving. Whats the load is moving it doesnt take much to keep it going.
School busses make 185-190hp. Thats less then a 4.0L SOHC. Do you really think a 4.0SOHC would move a school bus like a 5.9L Cummins?
