Comparing AWHP to RWHP. Not directly comparable right?

its whp is almost identical to "actual" whp for many types of cars.
also, it has a much larger range of loads it can subject to the car.
the higher the load, the longer the run.
the longer the run, the more accurate the readings, because there are less inertial components.

if the settings for each dyno regardless of manf were able to be standardized(just like dragging But
with perfect reaction times for every car, there woudl be no more issues of "this dyno readfs HIGH" and this dyno reads LOW
would stop alot of arguments around the world, but then hey it would make things boring, but, im more into factual basis.
and trying to get everyone form JUST the us to get on the same dyno is a rediculous thing to ask...
or we could all drive tothe center of the us and everyone dyno there cars at one dyno......
see standardizing would help so much... cuz no ones gonna drive to middle of us just so everyone gets the same dyno numbers...
the one variable that cannot be changed is temperature and humidity, UNLESS its a temperature controlled dyno room
BIG BUX!!

There is no dyno in the world that acts like asphalt
except for asphalt.
like you said, some dynos are more consistent that others (esp AWD ones) across different cars. mustangs and mahas are near the top.

But we were talking about WHP from the start so wouldn't drag already be accounted for.
If both cars dyno'd 300 WHP, then drag and drivetrain loss is not an issue. The only time that would be an issue is if we were talking about 300 CHP for each car. No?
