Nice numbers. It's hard to read those charts because of how they scaled them, but those are very healthy torque numbers for the mods you have and the fuel you are running. Maybe a little too healthy. What correction factor was the dyno operator running? Anyway congrats on your numbers and taking the time to dyno.
When you dyno an AT, you put it in manual mode and hold it in 4th to red line. Even in manual mode, once it bounces off the rev limiter, it changes gears automatically. That does weird things to the dyno plot and fuel/air metering, so you have to either lower the test window RPM cutoff on the dyno or just disregard the very top of your curves. |

What do you mean a little too healthy? You think not very normal or the dyno is not correct? I don't know about the correction factor...The guy who ran it didn't tell me anything and this is my first time put my car on a dyno, so I don't know too much... |

if your in M4 but not in Sport mode the auto will still shift. If you pull the shifter into sport mode it will not shift until you either redline or press the pedal pass the downshift detent

What I mean is that with the mods you have, those torque numbers are very good: on the high end. When a dyno operator tests a car, they go through calibration routine as well as tell the dyno software what the weather conditions are. This is vital, because the dyno's results are changed based upon the calibration and weather parameters. That's why comparing numbers between different dynos can be inaccurate. If you really want to see what power you have gained with mods, you should get a baseline of the stock car, and then compare those results under similar test conditions (ideally, same day, same dyno calibration).

Even though you're still in manual you are still prone to kickdown and will still shift automatically. It's an auto. Manual mode it will only shift at redline.
