Not read all this thread don't see how a dyno can be so far out

googled dyno setups and accuracy and you will see!

setup wrong and you could make it have 500bhp

Goodness, let's not start this again. It boils down to the accuracy of a dyno when a car has no working rev counter, revs are estimated and power figures will never be accurate. The argument that "so and so's car made book figures" doesn't quite cut it as the dyno may well be 100% accurate, but the revs for so and so's car were known, making the power output a true figure.

Could go all day arguing the toss, personally I think it's a little too high given my experience of 9mm pumps, but as long as LeMinge is happy with it it doesn't really matter. 135bhp or 150bhp, it's in a tin can, and they're mighty healthy figures.

I take it that means samass go-nad dyno is out to with his being at same place?

Yep, but Sam said as much when he posted the results. A dyno measures torque, power is then calculated as a function of rpm. As long as the torque is healthy then happy days as that's all the dyno can actually measure.
