it's just a picture, not a graph. what are the units of power and torque?

without those written on the y-axis, it's meaningless

obviously i can see that they are bhp and lb.ft, as any other combination would not have the lines crossing at 5252 rpm, but i could post a power plot for my 1.25 fiesta with higher numbers than that if i used very small units

carlo doesn't matter what the torque is doing as long as the power is continuing to increase

foreigneRS
The point is he said andrews was shit because it held 470 all the way to 8k & his drops off to 395..Im not saying its shit power or that just making a point that he slagged andrews off & by the looks of his graph he had no right to as his isnt better

carlo ok mate - didn't realise there was anything as silly as that behind it all just thought it looked like a pretty good power plot (if the chart was labelled correctly)

Default nice curves



Very nice mate, I wonder how different it would be on track to my old engine?? because mine was rubbish due to gearing etc.
And it should have been great according to the figures.
