Well im going to start on possibly something with the exhaust. Seems like there is too much back pressure. But then again you state that you have a Greddy right? Have you checked the cat? Might be something wrong there.

Other than that, Cant really give a solid answer without an air/fuel ratio on the chart to find out if that is bouncing around as well.

i know we have more aggressive cam's than the 00 - 01 VQ's so our torque curve is a bit wierd

Definetely 5spd, says it in his sig as well on his homepage.

Trying to think if those numbers are alright or low for a 5spd 4th gen, I dont keep up with the 4th gen stuff, need to though.

It's just that the scale for the torque is much narrower than for the horsepower. That amplifies the curves on the plot, but it's still a pretty normal 4th gen dyno.

As for why it jumps around so much, that's just the intake manifold design. It comes into one resonance and it has a peak, and then falls out of resonance and has a valley. Then it comes into resonance again. You can feel these peaks and valleys very easily with the 5spd, but it's probably dulled out a lot with an automagic. The 4g/MEVI and 5g intake manifolds are designed differently and have much smoother overall torque curves.

Keven97SE gave some really good explanations of this once. Try searching if you're interested.

that is probably from motor mounts or something wobbling at the beginning of the run. the other bumps are just normal dyno roughness, they aparently didnt smooth out the curve.
