You're right. I know if the engine would be put on an engine dyno, the numbers would be way higher than what the puter program said, but as a reference for making changes, this works out. Dyno2000 said I had X number of horse and torque, ok it's at the rear wheels not the crank, but the number is close. When I make a cam change or whatever, gives me some idea of what to expect. Dyno said new cam would increase horse and torque by a little over 50 each, and on the chassis dyno, that's exactly what I got.
