ah you're right, i should have paid more attention to the scale. i think the old type-S engine claimed peak torque from 2500-5000 (or something along those lines) though, not just 90%. has acura issued a statement for the torque on the 04?

Steve, you are a crackhead.
that Dyno is from my car, it's not a 6spd, it's an auto.
that's why there's the torque spike early in the graph, its the TC locking up. LOL

Look familiar?

All the other CL-S6 dynos show the engine making peak torque very early in the low-end before the manifold switchover also.

i for 1 drove both cars back to back before i bought my 6 speed i was not impressed buy the auto at all. i had a cl type s auto that would of blown the doors off the tl auto now the 6 peed was a different story, after i backed in the auto i jumped right into the speed and MAN WHAT A DIFFERENCE i bought the car after that i was not trading in my cls for the auto tl because my cls was better. i will say the 04 tl is faster than the 03 tls becuase of the simple factor weight on a 03 was more

Well, I just got the car re-dyno'd and it came in at 250.7 WHP and 228.6 lb-ft Torque. This is with the mods mentioned in my signature. Again, it was dyno'd on a Dynapack. I gained approx. 20 WHP and 19lb-ft Torque. Not too bad at all!

210 lb-ft Torque (Max - SAE) @ 5303 RPM
Assuming 15% to 17% drivetrain losses (corrected):
265hp to 270hp @ 6,321 rpm
(270 hp @ 6200 RPM - manufacturer's data)
241 lb-ft to 245.7 lb-ft @ 5,303 RPM
(238 @ 5,000 rpm - manufacturer's data)
The other two runs (green and blue) were conducted after the car was already very hot from the first run. As you can see, the car loses quite a bit (5 to 10) horsepower and torque when hot.

350Z is rated at 287HP & TL rating 270HP. Those numbers are pretty high.
Anyway, congrats.

Again, these are on a Dynapack, which typically has higher readings than others. What's important are not the eactual numbers, but the gains. After AEM CAI and Custom Exhaust (no Cats were removed), the following readings were taken:
250.9 Horsepower (Max - SAE) @ 6299 RPM
228.6 lb-ft Torque (Max - SAE) @ 5118 RPM
Gains (over stock) are:
19.7 HP
18.6 lb-ft

To give you guys an idea of how other cars, like the G35, do on the Dynapack, take a look at the following link:
http://clint.gurgen.com/G35/2004.09....9_04_2004.html
Most of the G35's (w/o ECU mods) were in the 240hp to 250hp range.

Since the TL is a 3.2 V6 to me it says the TL is fairly higly tuned. I will wait to see what becomes available for any increases/engine mods. First mod will be Alpine Sport tires...
I debated between a 350Z and a TL for months!! I know they are completly different cars, but i don't have kids yet, and i figured a 350Z would be sweet to own.... I test drove it 3 times.... But, i just couldnt justify it when it wasnt all that much faster, and so much "less" car than a TL... and not nearly as nice. Btw, it is VERY rare for a stock 350Z to dyno any higher than 235ish, during all my time on the 350Z boards, i dont ever remember seeing one as high as 250, almost all of them were 225-235 range.

Not sure if you guys have seen this articleDYNO DASH 350Z but it compares the different dynos and their readings the test vehicle was a 350Z.
In summary:
Turbo Magazine Dyno Dash Comparison Chart
Dyno HP TQ
Dynapack 249.4 242.8
DTS 257.6 556.5*
Dynojet (Win) 235.8 227.8
Dynojet (DOS) 243.7 237.2
Clayton 265.7 240.6
Super Flow 228.9 226.6
*measured at roller without accounting for gear reduction
