365hp dyno 1.
401hp dyno 2.
As many on this board will point out, you cannot use different dyno's as a comparative measure of a cars performance.
I will post the dyno graphs after the weekend. (it is in my office)

'22 Alpina B7,'21 G63 Renntech obviously (wife), Wrangler(kids)
Mine should arrive within a week,I'll dyno it at Porsche Exchange in Highland Park(they dyno GT2's and Ferraris for LF Ferrari),to get the base line.
After 1000 miles I'll replace the ECU(Renntech) and pulley and dyno again to see if it was worth it.

Talking to a friend Bill, who runs a 7sec Twin Turbo V6 Skyline drag car, in the US the Dynojet dyno is predominantly used. Here in Aust we tend to use the Dyno Dynamics dyno. Apparently comparatively the Dynojet read around 10% higher figures than the Dyno Dynamics. This is also reflected in 30% typically being used as the driveline loss figure as opposed to 22% in the US.
For example a 260kw (350hp) car on a Dyno Dynamics will typically produce between 180 and 195kw (240-260hp) at the rear wheels. Dyno's I have seen for 255kw cars on a Dynojet read between 200 and 220kw (270-295hp).
Other brands will have different readings, so the only real use of the dyno is to compare modifications on a vehicle on the same dyno, or at least the same brand of dyno configured with the same ramp rate and relative compensation figures.
