This illustrates exactly why all dynos should be set up to show only wheel horsepower (WHP) and torque figures. Anything else is just theorehtical.

So assuming it hasn't been cranked up beyond 22%... *crunching numbers*... gasss is in the area of 159-161whp. So a 10-12hp gain on minichara's 147bhp car on higher octane gas alone? Dang! Thant's an 8-9% performance gain.

92-94 octane is considered "premium grade" around here. Next time I do a dyno day, I'll be filling up on some high octane race fuel at the track and calculating a 22% driveline loss! I'll be putting up some 250bhp figures without even spending another dime!

All kidding aside... those power and torque curves are beautiful on those two. You guys should be very happy.
