I made one for you to give you a general idea of what to expect...

Seriously though, they don't make much power. Even with the DASC, my car is still slow, but alot of fun! ;)

That about right. 50# of torque from 2k to 5k, than 60#.  LOL . MM

:p

I already know these cars aren't that quick... I'm just building one as a racecar and would like to see what the torque curve actually looks like and know exactly what kind of power a stock motor usually puts to the wheels.

Keep in mind that the curve on BP's site is from an E30 M42.
