Stock 340 dyno tests?

To me it seem like some track guys have dyno trust issues, guess cause a dyno operators can fudge the results bit, and I guess from a bunch of braggarts that say they dyno X hp but come up far short of that on the track, can't really fudge an et/mph. But is ridiculous to trash dynos as an unreliable tool, I imagine anyone serious about their engine doesn't wants fake unreliable dyno results.

I just answered this. You have to look at the correction factor at the time of the dyno pull. If you are correcting 6% on a 500 hp engine that means the observed number is 470 hp. So long as the day you are testing the car with weather that matches the 6% correction factor then the car will run what the dyno says it made.

Some guys just don’t want to learn, or to know or even to understand. Once you get your head around the correction factor and WHY it is used then dyno numbers make all the sense in the world.

Sorry for the long post. The surface readers will skip over this one because it’s too long.
