I believe my statement was some may be largely inflated. But in the spirit.I have 608rwkw.Can't get grip so can't test it on the track..To many mangs.

nate3523 Member 49 Member For: 10y 3m 27d Gender: Male Posted 17/04/15 01:38 AM Author Share Posted 17/04/15 01:38 AM Maybe I wasnt specific enough with my question. With dyno figures specifically which run would normally be the one that tuner would use as the measure when advising the customer of the max power produced on the Dyno?I understand that there are other ways of determining power but I am simply wondering in relation to using a dyno as a measurement of power whether some tuners might base their figures off a cold run for example.
