Thank you for posting that. The presentation is a bit pedestrian but it is good material.

It's physics guys. Basic. F*cking. Physics. And basic, basic math.

It isn't magic.

And @celek was right about the WHP gain on any inertia-based chassis dyno, of which there are many.

In a brake dyno? Or any other dyno that can evaluate steady-state operation? Yes. On an inertial dyno? No. 1/4 ET? Oh, it'll make a difference.
