Gary was saying that Mustang dyno's show 18% less HP than what you actually make. As far as I know they didn't correct the HP for this, so I think all our numbers are off and lower than what they actually are .

Well this is always a pretty interesting debate. what people tend to notice is that our dyno will read about 15% lower than a dyno jet. Now to my knowledge, our dyno reads 100% true accurate real world horsepower, whereas a dyno jet has a bit of inflated numbers. For instance, the white STI that dyno'd put out 225whp. From factory its rated at 300hp, but if u subtract the drivetrain loss from awd (about 25 you get a loss of 75hp, which in turn is 225hp at the wheels. With this being said i have yet to dyno a car where the numbers seemed extremely off. I hope this helps clear up this question for you. Thank you for coming out on saturday and supporting us!
