This car really has 2 personalities: one with low rpm grunt for around town and highway spirited driving, and one for all-out balls to the wall track driving.

The dip only rears its head when tranisitioning between the 2 personalities.
On Tainen's car, the dip is still perceptible, but absolutely nothing like the hell that is driving a stock car in this behavior. Even with the dip characteristic in our new dyno graph, the car now has enough torque to remove that pain point far beyond its behavior at the power levels generated at stock.
