OK, maybe my brain just doesn't work as well as I would like.... I've been looking at dyno charts that people post, and sometimes they just don't make sense to me. The following two charts are from STS's website showing the difference in horsepower (first chart) and torque (second chart) between a stock Z06 and one with the STS system with just 5 pounds of boost:
What puzzles me, is what the heck are those charts showing me between 1500 rpm and 2700 rpm? It looks to me that when you put on the turbochargers, the car is basically comatose in that rpm range. Obviously that cannot be correct, as I can't imagine anyone wanting to have their car idle at 2700 rpm! So PLEASE someone tell me what I am missing here. There is probably a very logical sound reason for the charts looking as they do, but it just is not intuitively obvious to me at all.
Confused about dyno chart displays....
