Re: dumb Dyno question

["Brian Wagner" <scirocco_88_16v@hotmail.com>]

Most manufacturers report the the hp and torque of an engine from a fixed 
bench (engine not in the car). This way then can bump up their claim to fame 
for hp, as example I have a 69 SS Camaro that I used to run in the Super Gas 
Class (NHRA) 800hp 454 big block (at the flex plate) to the wheels was 
710hp.

87 16v
86 8v (parts car)
85 Wolfsburg (white coming to a garage near me soon)
