thanks
thanks
:p But seriously it could be underated or it could be overated to a small degree the power output varies somewhat on each engine built 362 is just an average. I have also seen the number 367hp on the AMG website. Have it dyno'd and you'll know for sure.

Oh, were it only so simple. Dynos are also very imprecise and dependent on a whole bunch of variables. I guess that you could get a pretty good idea if you were willing to drop about a grand on dynos and do about 20 different readings on different days with different temps, barometric pressure, humidity, etc.

Actually, if use Dynojet dyno you will a fairly close results. They all use the same weather station and the same SAE correction factors.
When it first came out in mid90s, we ran the same car on three Dynojets at three different tuners. The numbers were within 1/2 HP of one another.

Do you guys actually test mods on the crank to see some hp numbers

purely a coincidence, also within 1/2hp of what number? definaly not the real whp number. They aren't that accurate and you know
We have 11 of them within 40 mile radius and one two doors down at Mustang shop. We have compared several cars back to back on both dynoes and they both read the same.
not saying they are useless just not the be all and end all. The actual absolute numbers don't mean much but testing a car before and after a mod can be useful.
