I don't know what power curves are usually like but I have been wondering if I should do some more work on my 5 min power. Best for 20 mins is 361w but my best 5 mins is only 393w. This is at 83kg btw, so I'm not going to be doing competitive hillclimbs.

Mine is closer than I was expecting, so far this year I've done 474w for 5mins and 420w for 10 mins.
The former was a 5 min test, and latter was second half of a 20 minute test so not a true comparison but close enough.
EDIT my trainer reads at least 3-4% higher than my power meter..

My 5 and 10 powers are actually pretty close. Probably because I don't often do short, hard intervals and the longest hill climbs I've done are more like 2min. So, err, yeah, that's not real helpful for you.

Out of interest, how do people’s 5 min power relate to their 10 min power.
Best I’ve ever done is 385 for 5 mins (turbo), but was looking back over my numbers and I have done 365 for over 10 mins (outside). Is this a inside vs outside thing? Or is it not unusual for 10 min power to be close to 5 min?
