That's a valid point.
BUT, having studied the posts on this forum for over a half dozen years, I would venture to say that more purchasers of engines believe their dyno sheet numbers than understand that those are
not the numbers that are really powering their cars. You understand that, I understand that, but most people on this forum don't. Frankly, I would be happy if engine builders just had a black box warning down at the bottom of their dyno sheets that said
"this dyno was done with open headers and blah blah blah, you can expect up to a ___% power loss or more when these items are attached to your engine."
