One other thing for macster. The torque converter isn't locked up at WOT, ever. So the torque multiplication happens a lot of the time when you stand on it. In fact, it is probably biasing your dyno readings (power down and torque up).
I also liked this video http://auto.howstuffworks.com/mpeg/torque.mpg

Okay, dammnit now I gotta say it. What was your take on the dyno info that I posted? I've been waiting for your comments, hell that's why I posted all that #$%^&* it was to get your comments. <---- He busted me out.

Re: "biasing down" Yeah after that first run, I was suprised how much the puter pulled the torque. (It's almost as if it was an "AI" type of device) Anyway after the first run, my torque values were models of consistency. Unlike my HP readings, which I was able to manipulate. It was also the reason that I kept on with the "the rational" that I was espousing. I seen the damn computer lower the torque 21ftlbs to compensate for an over torque condition. At least that what I assumed it did.
I'm going to do S2 and stop with the engine stuff and just drive the damn thing some. The car runs great, especially with the Brand-X up pipe, I highly recommend it. It will interesting to see if the performance gains will still be there when I dyno it again.
Thanks for the comments.
I will look at the video.
