what he's saying is that his HP curve starts to turn over at the 5,700 rpms. where the other car is already on the downward slope

Thank you for the clarification because I was confused by his post. I kind of jumped the gun though, I should have just waited for his explanation.

Ty sir.

...and my mistake on that earlier post.

Though, my car is the one that dyno'd less. I was using a similar 3.73 auto car with full exhaust, udp, ls6 intake as means of comparison to show my car is not making more power than it should.

Also showing at that point in time that(~5,700 rpm) although at peaks he only did 10 more whp and same torque, at that point in the graph he did 332 whp to my 315 whp and 304 to my 287 lb-ft.

I've watched that vid a few times and I never see your cars nose drop down as is typical of a stock stall setup. Normal for a stock stall is to jump out of the hole strong from the initial brake release/torque spike but then for it to bog down for a bit before getting up into the meat of the power band. A stock LS1 - or LT1 or LS2 - is gonna bog, no way around it unless you can manage to spin the tires to keep the rpms up AND keep that spin slow enough that you don't blow the tires off. <<If you were spinning them like that, it is possible to hit that 60' time on street tires but just barely.
It's called taking away the torque management. Remove the stock value of 350 and put in 600 and a stock converter car will do just what his did.

Did it on my 01 Z28 A4 2.73 car and it was night and day. No lay over/nose down between shifts.

All my torque management is turned completely off.
