I am, however, talking about horsepower loss from engine dyno to chassis dyno. When one chassis dyno reads 10-12% lower than another, and one engine dyno reads 5% lower than another, it's hard to have a standard.
Probably no standard, just keep building your bad ass engines, it almost becomes pointless how much hp a dyno puts out, quarter miles times are better, the dyno as you know just becomes a tool for the engine builder and for some of us TOOLS WHO NEED TO SE INFLATED NUMBERS BY SUCKER SHOPS...
