Would that have altered the "reported" HP output, since it did the same amount of work more quickly?
It should have, or maybe I don't understand physics.... a definite posibility.
If NOT, then how is the Dyno Jet type of computer able to deal with this variance, and give us a legitimate HP number with both rear axle ratios?
Just askin'....

Uh, my understanding and Ive never run a car on an inertia dyno.
But Gear ratios are taken into account on a Dynapac.....
I wondered the same thing until we had to plug that data in.
