Huh? What I'm saying is that it is making to much torque lower. At the rate the curve is changing at 3500RPMS, it is still going to be making 150Ft/lbs. of torque at 2500RPM. I don't think so Tim...

And to save the clutch, you would want the graph to be steeper at the left, not shallower.

Considering the blip in the graph, I don't think there is real data until about 4300-4400 RPM, but the stuff to the left still bothers me.

Somebody with a stock and/or moded STI scan and post you pulls from Nate's Mustang would you?
