Alterations such that effective RPM are increased CAN and often do, increase power, even at the expense of torque; i.e. even if less torque is available there can be more power as a result of alterations.

Trev, you missed the "same rpms" part. Read it again.

HP can't keep increasing, if the torque is dropping off. Over the same rpm range, the torque has to increase, for the HP to increase. HP is just an effect of torque over time. Anything you do to the engine to increase power, has to increase the torque, or there will be no HP difference.
