dr3 ought to have a field day with this. i guess they have no idea how a torque converter really works, i.e. torque multiplication, lock-up and all that fun stuff...

i have plenty of dyno charts for my automatic wrx at various stages of modification... not once, evAr, did it make peak torque that low in the rpm range. extra displacement or not, it just aint right. in fact, they look very similar to 5mt dyno charts, just slightly different peaks.
BTW, what is the stall speed of a LGT automatic? that's probably what is skewing the results.

EDIT: Aparently its around 2200-2400 rpm according to people on LecagyGT.com

It's easy to get ****ed up results when your dyno:
A: can't read wheel torque, becuase there are no wheels
and
B: hangs your car in midair, totally removing a huge portion of the rolling resistance and rotational weight that contribute to drivetrain losses.
Trying to defend that position as anything other than a financial one, to a bunch of car guys who understand what's actually going on, is asinine.
That's good stuff.
Don't forget the massive jump or drop in the power curves where your dyno shockloads the center diff as if you were flooring the car on ice and then hit concrete. Sounds like a recipe for reliability to me.
If I had to choose between a road dyno plot and that abomination (at least for AWD cars) I'd pick the road dyno every time, for the safety of the car.
Yeah, that's right.
