dynos are always going to be hard to get acurate figures from. its the design of them. im not saying they are a bad thing, but its difficult to get consistent figures.

i sujest you read up on dynos to see what the veriables are. he is a quick list that i can think of.

type of dyno.
number of rollers
type of tyre ytuor running
tyre presures
gear used
engine and drivetrain temps (esp on a turbo!!)
the "calcutated" drivetrain loss

these are just a few. my personal oppinion is dynos are great for compearing before and after tuning. but there are sooo many variables that you can just say "my dyno sheet from 1 pull says im making XXXbhp so thats what im making!".

thanks Chris.

PS nice power though!
