Oh just have them slap on a Dynojet correction if they have it or just tell people it made xxx on a Mustang dyno which is around xxx on a Dynojet. Hell I usually just give people estimated crank hp because the only figures they understand is what they read in Motortrend.

Just another person chiming in for (im) moral support, Ryan. I got mine dyno'd on a Dynojet right after H/C, and it pulled 450/428 SAE corrected. Later, after redoing the install to correct some problems, and adding a FAST 90/LS2, it hit only 436/392 on a Mustang dyno, but felt noticably stronger. I've since added some other stuff, including a Meziere EWp, but I don't feel the need for bigger #s so much any more.

These posts always amuse me because so many (most) folks are completely cluless on dynos and results.. Comparing results is like comparing oranges to apples.. And yes I too used to be cluless
Remember:
Different dynos ie.. makes/models give different numbers
The same dynos give different numbers. Depending on 3 to 4 calibration settings.. Dyno Operator makes his own descision on Dyno claibration.
The same dynos with different operators give different numbers
Dyno calibration settings vary and can be changed from SAE to Standard by the operator, giving totally different dyno numbers
Altitude,humidity,temperature can have a huge effect on dyno results when not using SAE corrected settings
/ Speed shops can exaggerate numbers by using certain calibrations to inflate thier numbers ( A happy client will come back if his numbers look good). Sad but true some People lie or exaggerate on this forum
Dyno Jet SAE corrected rwhp on a Stock A4= 280-290 6spd 300-310
Best thing to do is stick with the same operator and same Manufacturer/model Dyno from Bone stock - all modifications
Don't rely on what others say about THEIR cars output based on the above information I have provided.. I've seen bone stock numbers from 270rwhp to 360rwhp depending on the above... Unfortunately no one knows to post all the above information when they post their dyno numbers... Its all a big joke, unless the poster knows the answers to all thses questions, which is critical when comparing with others... Like I said its like comparing apples and oranges
