Default rolling road graph

Ive been to a rolling road day today with FFOC.co.uk and my car seems to have a problem with torque?

The cars a V6 mondeo and according to the rollers the powers spot on at 169bhp but on the torque graph theres a massive drop at 2500rpm till 4500rpm, the car drives fine but i was wondering if anyone could shine some light on why its doing this? is it normal for the V6?

The car is standard apart from a K n N panel filter.

Heres the graph..

i would say you car is fine as the power does not change were the torque does so i would say it was just a bad run
did he not run it again ??

he only had time to run it once as there were loads of others there waiting to run.

could it have anything to do with fuel economy? i was told that standard cars are mapped to give better MPG at motorway cruising speed which is probably about 3000rpm where the drop is?

As Gary says. On the Sun Dyno, like on our Dyno Dynamics Dyno, the axis's can be scaled to show the maximum detail. This is really useful for mapping as you can see small changes, similarly, it makes any glitches look fairly major!
