Does that mean my 71 VW Bus motor has more HP?
So what was the point?
I am just skeptical after the BRZ-dude with his NA 212 HP "Dyno sheets".
Once we called him on it and got him on another dyno, we never heard back from him.
I suspect dyno shenanigans again.

Would appear that the accepted average for a stock dyno would be 155 to 160.

I personally have no trust in dyno readings anyway since I have seen the same car on the same day show a 40hp difference between two different dynos. There is simply too much variation between different units and to easily manipulated to use it as a comparative device. They are the equivalent to using a tape measure made out of silly putty. If it is hot you get 1 1/2"s. If it is cold you get 3/4". If you want more you pull harder and get 12"s.
They serve a real and practical purpose when tuning the same car and seeing the gains (or loses) but that is where they end as a measuring tool. Unless all dynos were set to the exact same calibration and the method of calculating the numbers is exactly the same they cannot be relied on to compare one car to another.
It is pretty easy to pick and chose what data you want when using the info from a different car on a different machine.
I can say baseline is 130
Or that it is 160 just by puling up different sheets.
Hell I could even say that it is 190 if I post up the right sheet.
