Of course there will always be a difference in the numbers from one dyno to the next.
Chuck I know from exp that here at the wheel dyno,even a rear gear change will up or lower the RWHP number.Also we switched from a manual 5 spd to an auto C4 with a 3500 blower convertor and the power went from 663 @ the rear (manual) to only 584 RWHP with the auto.Auto's suck the power on a chassis dyno....Prob why you run a stick...auto suc :wink:
P.S bought me a 93 coupe stang for the street.5spd... :wink:
