Some real good points, Mike. All the horsepower in the world doesn't matter if ya can't hook it up. Engine dyno numbers are a good way to check yourself and your ideas, but chassis dyno's are probably more relevant to "real world" applications. I take the poor man's way out and check mine with 0-60 times or et slips. The hp numbers take a distant second to the way the whole car reacts when the horsepower is applied. Most horsepower numbers bantered about are nothing more than a WAG anyway, just one more thing to chuckle about with the guys at coffee time!!!Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, Live for Today!

Learning must be difficult for those who already know it all!!!!
