I'm not sure they even recorded any of that. I usually take note of the Torque and HP, and gander at the BSFC on occasion.

I'm looking closely at where peak torque occurs, and average power numbers for the most part.

The 455 in question finished a little earlier than I like, could have used another 5-6 degrees duration and not hurt idle quality all that much, or low RPM power, but would have made power to at least 5500-5600 and a good bit more of it.......IMHO.....
