Dinan lowers the stock 3.15 final drive ratio to a 3.45, taking full advantage of torque multiplication for a substantial 9.5% increase in torque delivered to the road! The improved acceleration comes with only a minor increase in engine speed at cruise.
Thats torque to the road in the same gear. The dyno would read the same because tq is calculated for the engine. All dynos will calculate it based on gear ratios. Else youll get different numbers depending on which gear you dyno at.
