Default Any Yank PT dyno graphs?

I'm wanting to see if my horsepower curve looks like any other PT series owners'. I've seen 2 or 3 and both look fairly flat instead of reaching a definite peak. Just want to know if this is the norm or if it is just coincidential.

With it unlocked, yes, it's going to look pretty flat.

Why is that? If you remember my thread from a couple weeks back where I lost 30rwhp, that was because my graph just flatlined instead of peaking like my Midwest did. I'm just wondering why the PT series graphs always look flat up top.

I think we're talking about two different things. I was talking about the way a dynograph looks when using a loose stall (up to and a bit after the stall speed.) You're talking about missing power up top? Don't know what to tell you there. The TP should dyno as well as any converter up top. The power should come up to within 10-20 RWHP of what it does when it's unlocked (it should do this at the same RPM as when locked) and then naturally it should start to fall.
