Unfortunately, many manufacturers are reluctant to release this info. I haven't even managed to find a stock torque curve for my Jeep. But, I know the engine has plenty of grunt off-idle, and starts to get happy around 1200, and is really pulling by 1500-1600.

Also, DCB - That was just to prove a point that design for extreme low-end grunt and top end power tend to be mutually exclusive.
