You know engine design, good low end torque -> hurt hign end hoursepower output , vice versa. So, why don't keep moderate torque and good high rpm hourspower ?
Without getting into a gearing conversation, I understand what your talking about with having a broad torque band. Thats where forced induction and a set of cams comes into play. You can also lighten the load on the crankshaft and have it balanced to raise the redline considerably. So now I have a great 4 cylinder stroker motor with a decent rpm and torque range.
