The bizarre thing about this little spat is that both of you know precisely where the problem is in the dyno industry, viz the deduction of engine BHP from wheel BHP, yet seem to be failing to communicate it to each other... cheers, clive

So there are two sets of corrections : one based on environmental conditions, set according to known standards. And the other which is the fudge factor to convert from wheel BHP to engine BHP. Now I think we all know the latter are the ones which are notorious for being over-egged. But Burgerman has carefully said he's not talking about those - so why do you keep ignoring what he says and pretending the second set are related to the first? clive |
