RETed will become famous soon enough
Actually, the video label says semi-PP, so it's not a full PP...

Am I the only one disappointed with the *torque* graph?
Although the X-axis is not labelled in RPM's, if we assume 4.10 rear end, standard gearing on a stock FD trans...looks like 5th gear pull?

Assuming tires are close to stock rolling diameter...
2,000 = 50mph
3,000 = 75mph
4,000 = 100mph
(Wow, works out nice for 25mph per 1,000RPM's?)
5,000 = 125mph
6,000 = 150mph
7,000 = 175mph
8,000 = 200mph

Assuming + or - 500RPM's due to different tire size, etc...
Peak torque ~4,800RPM?
Redline ~7,100RPM?

Torque drop from peak torque to redline just about 100 lb-ft???
Something doesn't jive...
With the semi-PP, I would think the peak torque would be a lot higher?
Also, the torque drop wouldn't be as drastic with the semi-PP?
20% drop in torque over 30% of it's rev range (actually more like 50% over it's usable rev range) is a lot to me...

Am I way off base here???
