Finding an inflated dyno is next on the list so he can be like everyone else. A piece of paper that shows huge numbers but can't be backed up. No one seems to question the dyno, just assume the car sucks.

You can't use 1/8 to figure hp.
Why not?

If both pick up 29mph (a reasonable gain), then car#1 shows 915hp and car #2 shows 1020hp.
This is not the way to do that.

Here is another example paper says 1000hp, car runs 9.2s at 146-147 car weighs 3300lbs, thats not 1000hp.

No it's not.
Who's car is that?
Probably needs to check the car out and find what is not optimized for that combo?

So this hypothetical #2 is you?

Your car shows over 1040HP by the ET, the MPH shows you have more HP (1130 HP), so your car is needing some work to get it to ET better.

What's wrong with the dyno numbers compared to the track results?

BTW, are these naturally aspirated runs?
