The only accurate measurement of horsepower is by going to the track and running the 1/4 mile. By having the racing weight, ET, and mph, you can compute the REAL horsepower.

I did not know the T/C was such a factor. Like Jim said "you learn something new everyday."
My 90 GT is a good example. I am runing a PI 3500 stall T/C (AOD & 4.10 's). I dynoed at 247 rwhp/288rwt but I can run mid 12's on street tires @3400 lbs(see sig for details). Using some of the online HP calculators I should be making around 325-330 RWHp which is probably about right.
I knew the dyno readings were wrong-just didn't know why. Thanks for the info.
