Given two engines that have the same displacement and both use petrol as fuel.
1. 3.0 litre V6 with 200 ft.lbs with 300 HP
2. 3.0 litre V6 with 200 ft.lbs with 250 HP

Engine (1) will be the faster revving engine.

All 400 HP engines are not equal as you will have normalize for the displacement- the engine with the higher HP/litre will be the faster revving engine. I will say the engine with the higher HP/litre is the most optimized engine.
