Ok straight up no BS. I tell my customers turn the motor to what ever it takes to make the car fast. I also ask them "what do you need a dyno sheet to tell me how fast the car is going?" it's just a piece of paper. You tell me how the motors doing, don't have me tell you how it's doing or going to do. The ONLY thing that matters is the stopwatch. Think about it. As defined HP = measured torque x RPM divided by 5252. At 5252 rpm the torque and rpm will ALWAYS be the same. Look at any dyno sheet. Then you multiply by a atmospheric correction factor depending on the weather.
