But it DOES matter what it reads. If you dyno says you make 950 HP and mine says 550 HP and in the car it runs like 550 then your dyno is worthless.

Horsepower is a calculated number, based of torque. Torque is easily measured. So that means HP is easily calculated. And if you correct for temp and baro then why all the different numbers?

Because the dickhead throwing the stick is a lying cheater. Seen this for decades. And the same thing with flow benches. You are measuring airflow. Why the ridiculous numbers? Because the guy running the bench is a lying cheater.

Numbers matter. And they better add up. All this bullshit that dyno’s and flow benches can’t all measure and read the same is a lie.

If they don’t, the operation is either stupid or lying.

I suppose if you are using the HP number to baseline your ET it would help isolate other potential chassis or drivetrain issues it would matter but if you are using the dyno/flowbench to track progress the actual number wouln't make a difference as long as it was consistant.
In other words if yourdyno reads 100 hp and after you change jetting it reads 105 it was a positive change... if you jet up a little more and the HP goes to 95 you know to jet back down .

Its only when you are comparing data to other dynos/flowbenches that things get things up. Or communicating data to others such as in this case .
