Ok, sorry let me amend that... I don't think people will make 400whp on a realistically reading dyno. Dynos can of course be manipulated to read w/e the heck you want, and different dyno types read wildly differently. I don't want to start a debate about that though.

Obviously there is no consensus on this board about what is "safe" or "reasonably safe" or "really dangerous", there is also a large amount of ignorance about the realities of dyno readings. And then theres the matter of the quality of the tune, and that is a deep dark rabbit hole that I can't even touch. ---- All of which is off topic in this thread.
