You don't think our cars produce 300 lb ft at idle do you? The dyno graph seems to start recording at 1500 rpm too. The eng is producing torque prior to that, you're just not seeing it. Hopefully some of the tuning gurus will chime in with some better info.
I can't disagree with you that I am interpretting it wrong......

I see these charts all of the time, and many of them DO make sense. These two just don't compute for me..... And I am sure it is ME and not the data that is being represented that is off kilter..... I just want to know what it is REALLY telling me....
