Sorry, i wasn't clear on what i said. On 1 to 1 dyno's, the rpm and torque are the only things actualy measured, Hosepower is calcutated in the computer. The theoretical part comes in with how the car is setup, you can have a camaro that makes 300 hp on a dyno but with the proper setup can show more power at the track than it showed in the dyno room.


Work because i gotta, play because i wanna

People here hate Nitro, I love it. I start it, run it about 50 ft from me and it dies, I go after it. Perfect exercise
