Is that the only graph your dyno operator gave you? Most people who run 255's do it for the "down low" torque. I'd be interested in knowing what it looks like from 2,000 on up. You can't get to 3,000 rpm without first taking off from idle, every single time you ride. The graph you posted starts at 3,000 rpm with a torque peak that goes down from there.

I'm hoping iclick sees this post, and offers his opinion. He seems to be our resident "255" expert.

It looks dang good to me, but I thought the torque would have continued longer before dropping off with the 255's.

Now that you mention it, i would like to know what it's doing below 3000rpm as well, but this is the only graph I was given. Being new to the cam thing I didn't realize that.

dontdropit, you might get more response on the thread pinned to the top of this forum.

Put up your chart and specs there. There's a couple of dyno operators checking in a lot.

STD Smoothing...hmm. Most tuners would have used SAE

I noticed that too, I wonder how much less the numbers would've been with the more common "SAE" chart?

Usually the #'s would be 2.6xx less using SAE

From what I can see compared to other charts with 255 cams it looks like the tq peaked a little earlier than most but still a lot there even at 4500 rpm. Could this be the result of the pro pipe rather than a dual set up?
