Yeah, provided the engine is turning at 2800 RPM The torquemeter reading for the 1400 hp power setting is actually greater than the torquemeter reading for 1500 HP, as the you use 2200 rpm for 1500 hp and 2000 RPM for 1400 RPM, so torquemeter readings are not directly a measure of power, RPM needs to be considered also.
