whats the gag?

To give you a more realistic approximation of your torque output, you can calculate it with the following formula: Nm = (kW x 9549) / rpm

looking at your graph, I'd estimate your pk torque is about 573 Nm @ 3500 rpm.

ie, (210 kW x 9549) / 3500 = 572.94.

and your still holding 500Nm at 5500 rpm, so you've got a great constant push in the back right through the rev range....

I gather it's a 4sp auto, as the test was done in 3rd gear.

Don't know if you've done any mods to the trans, but your tuner has looked after you by limiting the torque at a sensible level.

cheers.

Cheers, that was a little more usefull, and thanks guys for the explanation. So does that mean quoting torque at the wheels is really a bit useless? I thought the AFRs looked pretty lean up top but when I questioned it the tuner seemed to think it'll be OK. I guess he knows I'll be coming back once the fuel pump goes in. the stocko valve springs seem to be holding... for now. Yeah it is an old school Mk1 so looking after the box is smart as getting something out from Aus would be too expensive.
