 Dynamometer ResultsAnyone can get on the internet and talk the talk. However, talk is cheap and after all the jaw-jackin, one fact remains... Saying what you can do and proving it are two entirely different things. Here you'll find some dynamometer charts verifying the results of the work we do, some interesting comparisons and other information.

Interesting ComparisonsHere are some more dyno charts and comparisons that you might find interesting.
DynamometersDifferent brands of dynamometers (Dynojet, Dynostar, Factory, Land & Sea, Mustang, Superflow, etc.) and types (eddy current or inertia) measure and/or calculate power differently. This can make for widly different readings from one to another. There are even variations in the readings between two test facilities that both use the same brand and model. No doubt, context is everything - if you're not comparing two figures being derived from the same dyno and facility - that comparison will have little meaning. Horsepower FiguresIn addition to horsepower figures, we list power increases represented as a percentage. We feel the percentage increase value is the more relevant figure in examining power gains, than the hp number itself. At least until there is a truly a universal standard by which all dyno manufacturers can agree to measure power. Regardless of dynamometer brand, model, type or the hp figures they provide - they're simply a reference and tuning tool. What we're looking for, is the difference between the baseline power before the work and the power increases after the work. Ultimately, this all that really matters whether referring to the scale (%) of increase or the hp increase number itself. TestingWe do our testing on both eddy current and intertia systems at various facilities - this is why we note the dyno brand, model and test location at the bottom of each dyno results page. This is to give you a frame of reference, keep in mind you cannot compare dyno results between two different facilities. Even if they use the same dyno and software - there will be significant differences. While we would like to do all testing on the same dyno/facility... It's just not realistic. This can be due scheduling and time contraints, but it mostly about customer preference. For whatever reason, if our customers feel more comfortable with using one dyno/facility over another - that's what we'll do. PreferenceWithout getting into the dyno brand/type debate... Simply and when possible, we prefer to test on Factory eddy current systems for consistency in repeatability and ease of tuning. Eddy current systems typically read much lower than inertia systems (most Dynojets). However, we could really care less about the number itself. Again, what were looking for is the difference between the baseline power before the work and the power increases after the work. |
