Default Re: Dyno ?, Numbers don't add up

Also there are many different ways of measuring horsepower (SAE gross and net, rear wheel, EU likes KW, and most are fudged to some extent such as corrections to STP (standard temperature and pressure).

When quoting numbers it is important to also say what the parameters used were else they have little meaning.

I prefer torque curves anyway, the area under the curve tells more about acceleration potential.
