It all dependson where you are measuring the torque. At the flywheel, the LLY is limited in 1st gear to 520 lb-ft. In a perfect world (no drive line loss) you would then see 1612 lb-ft on the drive shaft (520 * 3.1) and 6013 lb-ft at the axle (1612 * 3.73). Of course, those numbers will never actually happen because of losses. This is also assuming the Allison transmission.
