As mentioned, chassis dynos and automatics can produce strange results, especially with a loose converter.
Looks to me like your converter slipped to around 5300 RPM, where both curves hook, and your TQ and HP were already falling off. I think its very unlikely that engine peaks torque at 5300 RPM.
What exactly is the converter? According to TA that converter is for a late model Hemi or Magnum setup... if this is the correct converter its going to stall way higher than it is designed to stall behind a 318-360 cubic inch engine.

Tq and hp are always exactly the same, and cross paths at 5252rpm.

I've tested BB ignition timing many at the track and on multiple race gas and pump gas engines on a engine dyno, all of the ones I tested like between 34 and 36 BTDC total timing for the best ET, MPH and HP and torque on the dyno. This is with the TDC verified to make sure zero on the timing tab and balancer where accurate, I have found many engines that they where off also I raced a 1963 415 HP Max Wedge car in NHRA stock for many years, a friend and fellow SS racer had a 1963 Savoy 415 M.W. he raced in Super Stock and swore his motor liked 42 degrees total timing I learned later he didn't build his motors and it had a late model timing cover with a early dampener, which ends up indicating 10 degree more timing than actual IHTHs

Here’s that one from last fall, with a 2” super sucker on it:

Pulling up his runs out and doing the conversion to mph and looking at comparing to rpm and doing the math this thing is just blowing threw converter. looking at the graft you can see it is trying to couple up then it finally does when it starts running out of power.

Andy that's basically what we did and came up with the results. I didn't know how to do that so when my dyno operator came in and he did it and showed me.

I don't think that that converter was designed for that much torque and it would not couple up. I would think that it just needs a converter more designed for that application and not one that was met for a small block. he probably could still get by with something that would be in the 3200-3800 rpm.

AFAIK, the dynojet doesn’t have any load cell to “take a reading” and measure torque. It uses a formula to calculate the speed differential over time, and calculates how much power it takes to accelerate the drum(which has a known mass) that amount, in that amount of time(not a good description I know). Basically, the rate of acceleration is what’s used to calculate the power. It’s an inertia dyno.
If you run two cars with noticeably different power levels, say 100hp and 800hp, through the same rpm range(like 2500-6500), you’d notice the lower power car took much longer to get from 2500-6500. The only thing controlling the “rate” is the weight of the drums and the output of the motor. More power accelerates the drum faster.
I’m not sure all dyno jets operate this way, but the one my friends have does.
Edit: I did a little search and it appears Dynojet does offer some of their dynos with eddy current loading, along with the inertia loading. With eddy current loading, it would be capable of taking an actual torque reading.

Something is wrong. Not only are the numbers disappointing, the torque curve should NEVER have a big spike like that.

I know of a few cars that got run over at my friends shop where the numbers just didn’t make sense(weren’t right).
One that comes to mind was a 69 charger with a 446. Rpm heads, 509 cam, headers, 850 demon carb, 3.91’s, 10” converter. It was something silly like 285hp. The car actually ran pretty good on the street. This was an all steel, full interior street car. Had to weigh at least 3800 with driver.
Went high 11’s at the track.
That’s not 285rwhp doing that.

FWIW...my cuda made 636 hp and 555 ft lbs of torque on the local Dynojet. Ran 9.54 at 140.4 mph at 3800 lbs in that configuration.
Outran a bunch of supposed 800+ hp at the wheels cars too.

Wallace calc, but only 1 of them, been using it for years, has been pretty accurate for my old cars and others....Moroso chart differs, less hp etc. http://www.wallaceracing.com/accel-calc.phpInput weight and then adjust hp no.
