So, since the dyno guy fucked up measuring even a stock vehicle, that gives MORE credibility to your measurement?
I guess since they tested ALL of the cars with the wrong dyno settings so that makes it OK?

The 41 hp drivetrain loss is incorrect, there is no arguing that.
(unless you are dragging a dead horse behind the car of course)
This is not something the dyno can measure, it is a value the dyno operator has to enter (a priori knowledge)

Again, in a stock car we see 174 hp at the wheels (well documented)
The hp rating at the crank is 200 hp

200 -174 = 26hp
26/200 = .13 or 13%

WHY would that change just by adding a few hp at the crank?
Answer - it doesn't.

So IF you measured 174.6 at the wheels, you engine has almost exactly the stock hp rating.
There is just no way to argue that is not the case (other than 'the dyno guy said so')
