In Reply to: That dyno chart is suspect! =) posted by Zebra on August 20, 2001 at 14:31:47:


Seriously, that is the first one I have seen posted in that format without any RPMs. It would appear it was started in 1st and then the car was accelerated up through the gears to arrive at the final output. I am not saying that it is inaccurate, but I would imagine that one could not reliable compare that type of graph/findings with the other, fixed gear, RPM/power graph. I am certainly not 'dynoman' or anything, but they appear to be two different tests. Anyone here knowledgeable about this? Step?

I had a chance to compare STOCK M62TU with 500 miles on it to Dinan SC M62. Unfortunately, it never happened and it was not my fault. Both cars are 6 speeds. Go figure! I don't beleive this crap anymore. To get JIMMY's hp one needs to run 9 psi - suicide. Let him believe whatever he wants. Where are better engines out there ... To bad they overaheat in traffic. Hehehe.
