RE: dumb Dyno question

["Fry, Larry" <LEF@chem-tronics.com>]

Yep, Peter's right. 
 Before you commit suicide, every dyno is different and few are in
calibration. (ask the guy running the dyno to tell you when it was last
calibrated and all you'll get is a blank look)  So, figures from dynos can't
be taken literally, they can only really be used to make comparison runs for
tuning purposes. Just
enjoy the ride
