pretty sure that the RPM range you are talking about is where the car makes it's peak power/torque

I'm not sure what exactly you're asking.

If you're talking about the torque as 91@2000, that's saying peak torque is 91 lb-ft at 2000 RPMs.

For you car, max torque is 104 lb-ft at 5400 RPMs.

Yes, torque is essentially the force the engine puts out. Horsepower is (Torque x RPMs) / 5252
