Good question. Has to have been asked many times before, and I've missed it every time.

Wow, interesting.
Wonder what accounts for a whopping 40 HP variation between otherwise equal motors?

^ IAT temps get to high and the ECM pulls about 10* of timing, which results in alot of WHP loss.

The engines all make the same horsepower, its the dynos that vary.

Unreal.
Variations in the instrument, itself?
Very last thing I'd have thought about.
Thanks, K_J.

Yes, variations in the dyno itself. Or, to be more specific, variations in the testing procedures, installed environment, calibration and information input into the dyno. Garbage in - garbage out.
