It's so ridiculous even before this lag issue ever surfaced that the claim of "300 lb-ft @ 1400-5000". Yeah whatever. It's not even at 2K, more like ~2200 or ~2300. As of 29.2 I am not sure, but sounds like ~3K now.

Some people may claim "yeah but, do u really want your max torque to be at that low an rpm?" What? Hell yeah I do, as long as it doesn't drop anywhere in the mid range.

They should stop advertising this as "amazing low end torque". Low end to me is under 2300rpm.

Well as we know the 300 lb-ft figure in and of itself is bogus as we know too.
