A better approach all round is look at the Average Power, or even better, the Integral of the Power, this is the all of the Power added together that is under the curve, and not be too concerned with Torque Numbers.

What a useful read! I've always wondered about getting a total of the area under the graph to compare cars, now I know it's called the Integral. Peak power is so misleading it's almost not worth it (almost haha), like when comparing a V8 power graph with turbo. You can see the linear v8 has less area under the graph so naturally it's slower on the 1/4, for similar peak power.

We should all start comparing Power Integrals :)

Crap, that is a LOT of boost for that amount of power, it almost hits 20 PSI. That needs to be fixed up ASAP. The power and boost seem to be jumping all over the place on the graph...

Apparantly that's normal! That's the way he's dyno is. I had 310rwkw with 21psi :/ same tuner! Went to my original tuner and 17psi netted me 322rwkw! Says alot!!!
