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')

Im not trying to argue anything was simply adding my results to the thread and sharing more results to the op. Take it with a grain of salt, i am in no way a engineer nor an expert at dyno results. My car feels great and the jump to E85 was a noticeable difference in my experience with my car. I honeslty could care less what a dyno says about my car, i love driving it.
