Shame.
All I need to know, with reference to Nike's graph is whether the power curve is rear wheel power?
All I need is yes or no.

The answer is yes by the way. So uncorrected for coastdown. Although it does look healthy for a blade so I prepare to be shot down.
Must be a Hoot!

Going back to Nick's curve. He hasn't answered my question. Is the graph showing rear wheel power? Just a yes or no please.

Well, it seems (the equivalent to) a thousand words is not enough and to be honest I must say, I don't know, and, that this discussion/theorizing has been going waaaaaay over my head all along.
The graph (I've posted) is not mine but one I scanned from another forum and simply illustrates, visually, for that particular customers edification, the effect on his bike engine, pre and post the fitting and calibrating of a Power Commander V (5) fuel management devise.
With respect, dare I say, I feel all this abstract chit-chat is, irrelevant to the average 'biker-in-the-street' since all we're interested in is a nice picture illustrating that, by comparison, some positive/perceived improvement to an engines characteristics has taken place. At bottom, it's of no consequence to most of us whether the 'units' displayed are horses, cabbages or Cowry shells as long as we're all singing from the same song-sheet so to speak, and the print-out confirms, (hopefully illustrated by way of a lovely, smooth parabolic curve) that we have more of them than before and, consequently haven't wasted any hard-earned cash chasing our tails.
Finally, having raised the subject of 'hard-earned-cash' and, purely out of idle curiosity, would it be too rude to ask 'Corvus' what he does for a living.

Admit it nick. You wouldn't have given those "rear wheel" torque figures a second thought a thousand words ago.
Who's gonna write in? Me or you?

A dynamometer measures torque. Power is calculated from torque and engine speed.
Wikipedia, encyclopedia Britannica and how stuff works agree with me on this.
