    Pretty much what the title says. Is it lb/ft or Nm?

    Iirc BNG uses metric units so I'd say Nm.

    Some of it seems a bit messed up though. If you look at any dyno sheet in real life the torque and hp oines always meet when they get to around 5200 rpm. But in game sometimes they meet at this RPM, sometimes they dont meet because the revs are to low for it and sometimes they meet lower than 5200 or way higher than 5200.

    It might be because of different units (PS and lb-ft for example rather than imperial hp and lb-ft, or PS and Nm)

    That's because Torque and Power do not necessarily use the same axis scale in the torque curve app.
    Normalize the scales and you'll see that it works out (according to whatever units you've selected for power and torque)
