You should also post the type or manufacturer of the dyno since some dynos (like dynojet and other inertia dynos) give inflated numbers because they calculate the torque rather then measure it like a land and sea or a mustang dyno (brake dynos) so just remember that when looking at some dyno sheets because they can be as far off as 30%

I agree with you there.... Back in highschool we got a dyno at our autoshop and it had slightly skewed numbers. It was funny because all the muscle-car boys jumped all over the dyno and immediately started posting 200 hp, 250 hp, etc... They were all stoked because there big mean V8s put out soooo much power. I then suggested we put my moms 88 Toyota Corolla on the dyno. My moms Corolla had a factory claimed 90 hp engine with about 76 ft/lbs torque, on it's 1.6 liter motor. My mom's Toyota posted about 185 horsepower on that dyno! All of the sudden we had a bunch of cryin muscle-car boys. /images/graemlins/grin.gif /images/graemlins/crazy.gif /images/graemlins/crazy.gif /images/graemlins/crazy.gif /images/graemlins/crazy.gif /images/graemlins/crazy.gif /images/graemlins/grin.gif
