Agree entirely on looking at area under the curve or average HP/torque over an RPM
range than just peak HP. Have tested it several different both on the Dyno and the track. In recent years have had the opportunity to do regular dyno testing on 3 different 1800 racecars with the ability to tune, compare, and test on the track.

Peak numbers are usefull only for bragging rights and for comparisons with other cars where only the peak numbers are availalbe.

Rechecked the data I sent you on the stock 1800E and it clearly shows 120 ftlbs of torque at the wheels with an average over the 2500 - 5000 range higher than steve's car. Actually on looking at the curve from steve's run, it just does not look right. It is too flat. It just does not happen that way. Would really like to see the data details and see what the process is of converting those on that dyno.

Dynojets are inertia, that's why they are cheaper. Superflow can similute a drive to the grocery store or a lap of Watkins Glen. Can even set it to hold the car at a certain RPM no matter what you do with the throttle. It's computer just varies the load as you change the throttle opening. Really impressive what can be done. Most only use approx. 10% of their capabilitiy.
