I would say let's look at the percent gains
That's the only legitimate use of a dyno chart. Tossing around tuned numbers is sheer nonsense without knowing what it did stock (or before whatever change is being tested).
For example, one of our competitors enjoys having a customer who performed a CJAA "stage 2 full delete" dyno at a Colorado Springs facility known for their arbitrary "compensation" and is locally known for giving wildly optimistic results. There's a you tube video, chart posted on tdiclub by the tuner in their "colection of dynos" thread, and it's"the" result that got picked up by "the internet" as "what you get" with stage 2.
There's no stock results on the same dyno, just a casual mention about "those cars dyno at 130-is hp stock". Albeit on a different, less arbitrarily optimistic dyno, but this tidbit is conveniently not mentioned.
But guess what, the "community consensus" is now "stage 2 full delete is 190 hp." That's what gets repeated over and over, and becomes it's own truth. The tuner is careful to never contradict this, and in fact includes this result in the "collection of dynos" thread". Of course there's plausible deniability, because it's not actually the tuner making the claim but a customer of theirs.
So the same car goes to a dyno day near Boulder, and lo and behold, 155 hp.
So, what's the real answer? Was the gain 19% or 60%?? Without a stock dyno it's hard to be sure.
Of course the superlatives in reviews and on the forums will always be similar, regardless of which tune, how powerful or not. Night and day, nice improvement, noticeable difference, should be like this from the factory, etc. Very predictable what they will say.
Those are pretty much just words though. Anyone can say them, especially if they don't have anything to compare to than stock.
Then if you get to drive both and compare... for example, see the chart below.
bottom curve = stock
middle curve = "stage 2" (competitor "190 hp" tune- the bobble at the end is egt limiter kicking in)
top curve = Kerma
same dyno, same car, same day, swapped out ecus on the dyno. Granted, this was a few years ago, so take it FWIW.
But the results we publish are for the same basic tune the customers will be getting. (I could go on about how there's "ringers" and that's not always the case, but that's for another time)
