Highest Horsepower dynos for SC Turbo and nitrous - post them here

Yeah.
I'm excited, too! I found a dyno in town that will cut me a good rate for self tuning.
I'll have my water/meth spraying at full tilt with Snow Boost juice (half water/half meth) and a splash or so of CP116 in the tank for protection. Since this is "All out" ya know, haha!

And torque over time is ..... horsepower.
Listen - this is the age old argument and I don't want to derail the thread - my point was you don't need the torque graph to compare dynos... the HP graph will show you the acceleration of the cars.

Torque is the static measurement of how much work an engine does, while power is a measure of how fast the work is being done. Since horsepower is calculated from torque, what we are all seeking is the greatest-possible torque value over the broadest-possible rpm range. Horsepower will follow suit, and it will fall in the engine speed range dictated by the many factors that affect the torque curve.

I don't think Kane meant any offense with his comment BHR guys, I think he was joking. Sometimes its hard to tell with text, but *shrug*. Also, as much as I totally agree with the "area under the curve" crowd, the title of the thread is Highest horsepower dynos. Most people in the import scene don't understand the importance of torque curve, but they do know one number is bigger than another. Misleading or not, horsepower is what a lot of people look at so its not a bad thing to have a thread cataloging it. It wouldn't be a bad thing if we used the same dynos posted here and organized them to show the area under the curve as well.

I think a number aplied to the , say ,4000-8000 range would be more of a guage on performance . Not to mention the fact that many of the dynos don't have plots outside that range anyway .

I had that same thought this morning actually. Sadly that is not my forte so I will have to let someone else tackle that.
