There seems to be a big incentive for some engine builders to exaggerate their HP claims. That's why dyno comparisons only have some validity. I think there are a few tricks that you can use to get a dyno to read higher than reality. There is also the different style and mfg. Dynos as well. I think he is a little optimistic.
