If solo FF rules are the same as Road Racing FF's ; A decent FF puts down about 110 HP to the rear wheels. (Not at the shop to look at the chassis dyno stuff, but I am pretty sure that is close) A FF with straight cut gears has the potential to put a little more HP to the wheels than a Vee. A FV trans is not quite as efficient. Also a FF has a close ratio gear set with lots of options to keep it close to peak HP on the course. No problem building a ACVW with more HP, but keeping it in that peak HP range is a bit more difficult on the track.
The torque ranges will be different but torque has little to do with it. For all practical purposes torque is just a mathematical force vector used to determine HP. No matter what the torque is, two engines of equal HP can do the same amount of work when matched to the proper drive train gearing. (all other things equal).
Torque IS HP when the equation of time/speed is included.
For the most part, the Torque vs HP issue is one invented by Madison avenue and used to sell pickup trucks.

When you get into very large torque engines like diesels, it deserves some attention due to the massive rotating components required.
BTW, Tomorrow we are having our annual Tech and Dyno day at the shop. Sale prices on most all items, $50 for multiple chassis dyno runs and there is a 1915 ACVW on the dyno for demonstration.
We MIGHT have aF on the chassis dyno along with a TransAm car and a few others.
So bring it down and see what you got.
