so losses + dynapack loss = that number.

Yes it could be corrected, ajusted so it looks "better" but whoever knows about Dynos, and a given car has been "dynapacked" knows that the raw result will be lower than other solutions. Once again, when you tune a car, the Delta is important, not the absolute raw number ...

A dynapack will read lower than an engine dyno but typically higher then a chassis dyno.
