IIRC on a 1MZ (non vvti) max torque (around 220 foot/pounds) comes at around 4400 rpm and max rpm is around 5800 rpm.
V6 is nothing like a vtec, you need to rev a vtec over 5000 rpm to get any torque, V6 is the opposite, you get much ft/lbs from low (1500?) rpm.
Find a couple of dyno charts and compare a vtec with a 1MZ V6 the difference will be obvious
