Kevin, Marc displays the results in a way that most people can relate to. So HP is the often quoted number. It's the "headline" of the story because most of us what to know "how much more HP do I get for my coin?"

That said, along with the HP gains there is a concomitant increase in T/Q output because T/Q output can be translated into HP output and vice versa using a formula. The reason that HP increase figures are always given is because the T/Q gains are a smaller number than the HP gain number, and to quote HP gains gives us a bigger number. It's a better "headline".
