why would they do that...even if they could...
btw: the file number at the bottom is the same....and these aren't print-outs, it's a real time screen shot...

iirc dynos CAN'T measure HP...they measure torque and covert it to HP...
so which is right? the HP or the torque...

they are BOTH wrong, I'm guessing torque is 10% high...and the HP curve is complete BS...the data was manipulated between the torque readings and HP calcs/display...don't ask how I deduced this...I'm pretty sure it's close...

adjusted...less 10% T
rpm.......T.......HP
3000....117.....67
4000....300.....226
5000.....385....367
6000.....380....391

this would give a power loss of (480-391)/480 x 100 = 18.5%
that's a good number for an awd car with high drive rations (Fd = 3.7)


that's the point...
