One other good point is that if you really want to know how much power the engine makes, you won't find out on a chassis dyno due to all the unknowns of exhaust/driveline parasitics. Chassis dyno numbers aren't as fun to brag about either....that 400hp engine will probably only put down 300-320 to the tires.
