No idea mate - I dont know much about the graphs - will have a nosey at some old ones
Had quite an in depth chat with some lads on Focus ST forum and some argued about the power and torque not crossing at 5252rpm and I resolved this by rescaling the graph so they had the same values per increment on the y axis;
Cheers for the comments on the build - taking too long for my liking but at least its positive progress

On all graphs I have from other rolling roads they dont have the same wheel / flywheel rpm either
Mate just had his Escort Cos on the rollers and got 301bhp and 312lb/ft so will try and get a nosey at his graph

Hoping to get it on this week as not using the car on the road much - just designing a new legal plate I can use
Cant afford to get caught with an illegal plate again or will loose my private plate

Nice little upgrade - full mesh bumper grill.

Well parts are going to be stockpiled so can just get the car in and get the bits fitted without stripping down and rebuilding then stripping down again 
So todays delivery was;
These are now sitting with these;
Lots more parts to order and stockpile yet

Slight update;
Door cards have had some lovely black leather added to replace the hideous standard doorcard fabric
Had it made in 2 pieces of leather with some lovely red stitching seperating the pair;

Cheers for the comments gents 
The grill is a nightmare - already has 2 cracks in it so going to redo some pieces in fibreglass and see how that turns out.
Going to a different rolling road as not happy with the previous 334bhp reading - think its slightly optimistic. Think its closer to 320bhp with a higher Ib/ft reading.
Previous run was done in 5th not 4th as well

I was honestly expecting 315-320bhp and 370+Ib/ft
Only problem for me is it was spinning up in 4th on rollers and making spurious readings - 380bhp

Yeah mine has a rear interior light - or did have 
Just checked for Etis and found it listed as;
'Rear Overhead Courtesy Lamp'
Looking at other seats but not to fussed as the standard Recaros might be heavy but are great compromise between road and track use.
