If real that is one of best Dyno graphs I have ever seen on a turbo car. Torque doesn't stay flat, it climbs!

[@Asiansxsymbol]

AMS doesn't lie.

[@asdfghjklkjhgfdsa69]

It's fairly common to see flat torque curves with modern cars. A lot of modern cars nowadays the torque peaks early , around 2000rpm and then flatlines till about 5 or 6000rpm before dropping off.

But that’s not translating to real world aftermarket. We’ve got aftermarket VR30’s running with Tesla Plaids and gapping BWM Supras all day. Go to Dank Qs KZbin channel and check it out.

im excited to see what this engine can take. my guess close to 800Hp before rods and pistons but who knows?

[@felixformosa8384]

The safe spot for the engine and trans was around 600whp and 600wtq for the q50 and q60, we have seen people take the stock engine and make 700+ and detuning the torque quite a bit for safety. But 700 is an aggressive tune for the engine. B&C have pushed theres to 800whp with about 550wtq i believe. Id day the car can safely handle 650whp while maintaining 600wtq. Any more and you are just counting the passes before it blows. As for the z we havent had anyone push the 9 speed yet so we will have to see what that trans is capable of!

Something is not matching up well.

[@q6_zilla]

pure stage 2 turbos use the factory housing turbos so still very small. Basically they are just ported stock turbos with upgraded larger billet compressor and turbine wheels. You also had a built engine, the torque is kept low on purpose to keep the motor and trans happy.
