I have a paper copy, thats all.  RG might have it saved somewhere?

Like all of them online etc, it hits hard and then slowly falls off, then at 5500ish it drops off.

Interestingly, the torque and hp curves don't cross at 5250 like they are supposed to.  First one I have seen like that.

RG scales the tq and hp graphs differently on the same printout/sheet
The overlap exists because of the way its drawn if both graphs scale in a 1:1 ratio due to the nature of how torque/hp calculate in relation to each other.
their readout squeezes things a bit it seems, I've always wondered why they do that.
They're like expensive pokemon... gotta catch 'em all.

the crank sensor is behind the lower timing cover, is this the one you are unplugging?

 yes john its the one i replaced thinking it was the issue  .. also .. its really weird how when i play with it unpluging and pluging back in a few times . its seams to charge something up and then u can hear all 4 piston firing for a plit second when i  try to start the engien then back to only two ..

this is my reading from my compresion test .. #1 155  ,# 2 125 # 3 155 #4 125

i have also noticed that when the Left flasher light bulb is in the inside  flasher indicator(green arrow)   is always on when the headligths are turned on .. when i take the bulb out the indicator turns off .. thats a electrical issue for sure and now i am wondering if it could be the cause of all this problem or just one more indicator that my ECU is toasted :P LOL ill take that thing out and have a closer look  firday ..

An Eprom has a chip that you can remove from the board and have a socket put in its place.  you can then put a custom burnt chip or run an Eprom emulator such as an ostrich through the ECU.  You can also plug the stock chip into the socket.
