Default Question on dyno sheet read outs?

Are they in HP or WHP ?

Got a sheet along with lots of paperwork on A new to me car.. It's from the shop that did all the mods to it.. But not sure what it relates to in terms of power reading?

Thanks

looks like the red lines were pre supercharger and the blue were after. Torque looks like just over 470. Yes it's whp. Looks like a fun car. Just make sure you a/f ratio is in check.

ah OK Cool thankyou.. guy said it was 600hp so it must be about that.. to be fair I'm happy with it.. and over here in the UK you do not get these type of things on the road! ..

when you mention about A/F that's Air / fuel ratio ? .. how do you check that out?

well, you would monitor it with a gauge. Either one you buy and install yourself or bring it to a dyno facility that has a wideband to check.

OK maybe option one.. we don't have great facilities here for experts in LS set ups..

it has a boost gauge and fuel pressure one on a pillar gauges.. maybe time to get a third one for this too?

it would be personal preference for me. If I was buying an n/a car, air fuel wouldn't be at the top of my list. If I was buying a boosted car, that's the first thing I would like to know before getting on it. You could bring it to any dyno shop that has a wideband air fuel sensor. Doesn't have to be ls specific. Or like you said, just install one.

If it's making 528 at the wheels then yes that would equate to roughly 600 at the motor. These cars have a roughly 15% driveline loss. 1.15 x 527.9 = 607.08.
