yeh, but its pretty much constant from 1500 rpm to 7500 rpm.... i had a 2.75 inch exhaust made up, which doesnt help with the cams it has at the mo, but they will be changed over winter for some 300+ degree duration jobbies etc etc, where the exhaust will be needed imo

lost alot of back pressure because of the exhaust.. may be able to regain some by tweeking the cam timing, but im not gonna bother.. it flies any way

matt something doesnt look right, you have not far off peak torque at hardly any revs, this doesnt seem right especially for a n.a car
