Yes, you are right. In this case 2deg more timing produced a very smooth curve to 284.5hp but we took this off at WOT because the the engine was pinging.

Edit: you can see where we chopped off the timing from 4500rpm to 5500rpm, where the top of the torque was flattened out instead of going up and smoothing down.

in fact it should have the least amount of fluctuations, since WOT is the easiest to tune.
