Hot air intakes, excessive boost, excessive boost utilizing the stock intercooler, high ambient temps, and excessive timing due to over aggressive clamping will all lead to knock retard (more so in the upper rpm's) which reduces your peak horsepower, but not your peak torque output. Actually if you're getting an ass load of torque and a low horsepower output you are more than likely suffering from the knock retard syndrome.
