Agreed, good information David, thanks. Quick question though.
Can the drag coefficient number be manipulated by putting light pressure on the brake during coast down and creating more drag? Just curious.

I guess that could be done, but what does that get you?
BHP is calculated from WHP, 40%+ is a LOT.
Then again, if the loss were say, 30% then that means that the car is putting out less BHP. At 30% 126.4 WHP = 180.5 BHP. That's only 10hp more than stock.
Not trying to start any flame wars here, something doesen't make sense about that chart.

I am not sure if that is the case that is why I ask, but to answer your question
I guess if you can manipulate the amount of drag that the machine will read you could essentially manipulate the conversion from the wheels back to the crank in terms of horsepower. Like I said I am not sure if this even makes sense just a thought.
It seems like a very generous crank number from only 126.4 wheel horsepower.

The reason why we did the dyno at AMS Advanced Motorspost Solutions is because they are a shop completely independent of EuroCode Tuning and Revo in fact they are competitors of Revo so even if you can manipulate the numbers by applying the brakes like you suggest, I highly doubt that they would want their competitors to have an unfair advantage since Mark the owner of AMS was in the drivers seat and running the car on their dyno.
Our goal @ EuroCode Tuning is to provide the consumer with accurate & independent Dyno results unlike some other competitors who either refuse to post results or manipulate them on their own dyno to have an unfair advantage.

Only AMS can operate the dyno, not the owner or tuner of car.
Why would AMS try to manipulate numbers for a competitor? Doesn't make much sense, if that is even possible in the first place.

I need to get my MTM Stage 2 on that MAHA soon and confirm the #'s from MTM/JHM...
of 215hp & 245 lb/ft torque. My A4 is basically the same set up as yours except for; exhaust w/o dp, larger injectors and 91 octane.
Is "Oxygen A4" the test subject?

David please accept my apology. It was not my intention to undermine your integrity.
David,
Sorry about that. I have spoken with you before and you are a first class guy. I realize that my comment carries a negative implication. It was bad form of me to do that to you. For that I am sorry.
