Are you sure the LOD value corresponds to absolute peak theoretical torque output? Or does it mean maximum torque output for a given engine speed? EG: if you floor the gas and hold it there in top gear at 1000 RPM, does it not read LOD=100, and continue to read LOD=100 while the RPM climbs?

EDIT: from the SGII user manual

Quote:
LOD = This is a percentage of the maximum power available currently being generated. In some vehicles it is the maximum available at the present RPM.
Seems to be an "it depends" situation.
