Sure the big number looks good, but the rest of it to get there is a big
I'm glad I'm not the only one wondering WTF? That torque curve is about the ugliest baby I've ever seen - ever worse than the sequential twin turbos on the MkIV Supra. I don't know what he was aiming for, but the huge dip in the middle is not something I'd find confidence inspiring when exiting a corner.

So it looks like the engine speed was not properly calibrated on the dyno, the torque lines are wacky as hell and the hp lines are shifted higher due to the bad calibration. On the positive note we do see a consistent appearance between the baseline run and the headers run so the gains are definitely there, but not in a pretty fashion.
I have been talking to the owner of the car who lives relatively local to me and he said that he would be interested to dyno his car on the dynojet at the facility I do my testing. This all won't occur probably for another week though.
engine pull?
Well I could not take the intrigue any longer so I pull all of the shielding off the underbelly of my F yesterday while I had it up on the lift. I have to say that if I had to remove the exhaust manifolds of this car I would support the engine from above and remove the engine sub-frame/cross-member which includes the power steering rack. Once all of this is removed I would simply unbolt the motor mounts and the motor mount mounting brackets from the engine. That should be all there is to removing the exhaust manifolds.
