To add to Frank's list:

1.9 TDI with 4.86 & .70 4th @ 60mph & stock chip & 27" tires = 150 ft lbs
1.9 TDI with 4.86 & .70 4th @ 60mph & stock chip & 235/75/15 tires = 155 ft
lbs
1.9 TDI with 4.86 & .70 4th @ 60mph & Upsolute chip & 27" tires = 185 ft lbs
1.9 TDI with 4.86 & .70 4th @ 60mph & Upsolute chip & 235/75/15 tires = 190
ft lbs
