I don't think the LS650 knows anything about math.
Your engine may not know anything about math - but the HP number is created by math.....Horsepower ratings are a function of math (torque x rpm.....with the 5,250 number added to make the numbers somewhat meaningful).
The engine produces torque at the crankshaft, and when you multiply that value times the rpm....you are creating a mathematical measure of the work (HP) that can be done over a specific period of time.
The formula doesn't care how many cylinders you have - but most likely the torque value does.
The stock Savage engine is listed as having 31 HP @5,400 rpm, and 37 ft/llbs @3,400 rpm. (This goes a long way toward explaining why your engine stops pulling hard as you approach the 6,500 rpm redline - the HP drops off for that last 1,100 rpm).
