Looking at all the dynos, can someone please explain...
...the torque curve drop-off > ~6K RPM?
It's rather steep, and I can't help but wonder what this car will do with a more normal looking TQ curve at higher RPM's? |

Well torque is going to drop after 5252 rpm and horsepower will increase. So there is no need to worry and you can shift all the way into redline if you want... atleast with the xede the hp isn't being reduced, so let her rip.

At 5252 RPM torque and HP will have the same numerical value. Above 5252, HP will ALWAYS be greater than torque and below 5252 HP will always be less. No exceptions. However there is no law or formula to stop an engine making more torque at say 5500 RPM than it does at 5252. A Formula 1 engine for example has it's peak torque around 10000 RPM.

Manufacturers will sometimes artifically tune the car so that it makes less power on the top end than is actually possible. This is to protect the engines...
A question regarding XEDE here - how does Xede adjust boost in the car? is it a constant % above factory, or do you aim to hit a target number? Assuming the factory tune drops boost on the top end, can Xede be programmed to compensate? thx, -S |
