That's a huge misconception IMO. You do know your diff ratio is not 1:1 right? And your wheel diameter alters both speed & torque. If you want to know "true hp" pull the engine out and strap it to an engine dyno. That's why dynos are a tuning/comparison tool not a "how much power is my engine making" tool. It gives a good idea but should be not taken religiously IMO.

The real concern should be, do you really want to be doing close to 150mph on rollers without the air flow to keep the tires temps down?
