7 different dynos...1 day...1 badass car.

 

Good article. Basically confirms what quite a few of the knowledgeable members here have been saying. It's the overall gain and not the peak numbers that are meaningful.

 

You know what this means guys?!?!?! My car has the most horsepower when dynoed on the Clayton VTT. this means that if you guys want your car to have more horsepower get ur car dynoed at one of those!!!

 

Sorry about that...It's Turbo Magazines Dyno Dash...Not SportCompactCar...

 

Forgot to mention...If you're not a horsepower junky and happen to be a torque junky...get your car dynoed with a DTS dyno, apperantly those give you way more torque 550+ foot-pounds actually

 

*measured at roller without accounting for gear reduction*

Yeah, whatever the hell that means...Means it is wayy off to me.

 

not a complaint towards you, this is aimed towards the creators of that dyno, having notes that say *measured at roller without accounting for gear reduction* is just about as good as having a dyno that reads out 450hp and then at the bottom having a note that says if your car was a viper. If you can't apply the number spit-out by the dyno to ur car its basically worthless...this includes if you have to apply some sort of stochastic formula to the result to get the actual torque...(exaggerated? yes, just making a point...which is... ...oh yea, they're STUPID)

 

on a serious note though, having that kind of difference in dyno numbers is bad. if you take the highest and lowest HP outputs, you get a difference of roughly 13%. So lets assume that you don't use the dyno to actually get the HP but to measure the GAINS from aftermarket parts. If one dyno boosts output by 13% over another dyno, it is totally possible for even the HP from the gains to be inaccurate by 13%. I'm not proposing a solution by any means...i'm just a complainer...

 

Why they used STD correction on some of the runs but not on others is beyond me. How stupid is that!?

Gotta find one of those Clayton dyno's...

hehehehehehehehehhehe

 

yea so if someone claims 330 NA hp make sure they're not getting dynoed on a clayton
