At least in our cars, the engine goes past the torque peak then settles down at a lower torque value for flash/stall. And keeping everything equal with gearing and weight, in good air it will flash at a higher rpm with increased torque.

Chris remember in good air the engine is making more HP and Torque which explains the higher rpm flash.
