You should start a new thread in the 'Photos' section if you're looking to post up your profile or historical journey.

No, in fact I did mean 6000Nm at the wheels (ATW) thats about 600Nm at the crank... And thats with only 4psi!!!

That 6000Nm is a misleading figure. If you mean 6000N, it is probably the most meaningful figure of any that are bandied about but it still only relates to a certain speed in a certain gear. It will change with each gear ratio (getting smaller with the longer gear ratios)
If it is meant to be 6000Nm, I'd like to know whether that is a figure they are getting at the roller (ie, the wheels are imparting 6000Nm to the roller) or whether it is a derived figure for torque on the wheel axles.

I'm guessing Pulse are using a roller dyno? If so, the raw figures they would be getting from it would be roller speed (revs per minute or second) and either power or torque. As power and torque are directly related to each other by rotational speed, it doesn't really matter which of these is the raw number.
Torque at the roller is the twisting force about the axle of the roller. In order to convert that to torque about the axle of the car's wheel, you need to know the ratio of the diameters of the wheel and roller.
With the lib 6 speeds, dyno operators I think are tending to use 3rd or 4th - basically the gear which at redline comes closest to the max speed of the dyno without exceeding it. Redline in 6th is about 260km/hThere's also consideration of the risk if the car comes off the rollers at full noise
