_{Is there a formula for converting Tractive Effort (N) to Nm? Im trying to read a Dyno chart of torque my tuner gave me and it's in tractive effort, It's 8000. Any idea on how to calculate this?}

You will need to know the diameter of the dyno's roller. Apparently they're usually about 218 mm or 273 mm, so that would be 872 Nm or 1092 Nm. As you can see, the torque figure isn't very useful, as it's distorted by many components along the chain; roller, wheels, lsd, torque converter if it's auto, and the gear selected.

Derived torque is something that resembles the source.
