e55 dyno low torque numbers

Couple weeks ago I took my completely stock e55 with the exception of a plm xl hx and got it dynoed on a dyno jet and put down some seriously low torque numbers. I did notice he had a hard time getting a rpm reading and I couldn't get results that reflected rpm just mph. I just want a opinion on whether this is human error or if there might be other issues. Car was put in dyno mode and pulls where done in 4th gear.

If they were struggling with the signals then I wouldn't worry to much about the torque numbers.. They fluctuate so much on dynos I have found. At least your whp is where it should be for a stock car. What altitude are you at and the dyno run should be in 3rd gear.

Like c32 said tq is all over the place on dynos . Your HP is normal and both curves look solid for a stock car. Nothing to worry about. If you use the same dyno for mods it will give you an indication of what the mod added. But comparing 2 different cars on different dynos means nothing. It's just numbers.
