Without an initial baseline run the final HP and TQ numbers are useless. Every dyno in the world will give different numbers on different days under different conditions. A car claiming 320hp and 260tq could actually be making less power than a car claiming lower numbers.

So many people seem to get hung up on these dyno numbers. Track and 1/4 mile times are the only real measures of whether you have actually made your car faster or not.

All of this.

It is my opinion that the Z1 dyno has about a 6-9% boost over most other dynos as far as the numbers reported on cars with near identical mods and conditions.

I have some stats I've collected over the last year that lead me to believe that there are some very real, very specific, horsepower limits without changes to certain key components which are basically never touched in bolt on builds.

So either Z1s dyno has some calibration creep, Z1 has access to tuning resources that other shops don't (meaning features of Uprev that aren't public and lead to huge gains, which is very unlikely), or these users posting results have secret mods they aren't mentioning.

Just one man's opinion.
