Does this look right to you guys (HP gauge)?
I was just driving home trying to get a video of my little on screen HP gauge for ****s and giggles (non tuned car). I haven't used it much but I would have sworn before it would max out at 500 ft lbs of torque pretty quickly and stay around there? I did two quick vids and HP cracks 500hp once but the torque never does. It seems to linger around 460-480. Then the torque bleeds off as I'm WOT at top of each gear but that part seems normal as higher RPM is going to be full hp rather than torque (I think}. Both vids i'm in S+ and I manually shift down to second, roll the throttle through second semi-hard so it doesn't spin but then it's WOT for the next gear or two until I let off in each video. Maybe I've never really paid attention enough, let me know what you think.

Ok cool, I guess I just expected them to both hit 500 pretty fast and stay there more. The trq never even reached 500 when watching the actual number (as opposed to the gauges line)
