Is this good dyno numbers?

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?

For the amount of time your at this speed tire temps are not even a consideration.

Of course your differential is not 1:1, you just want a direct drive or as close as possible through your transmission to get the most accurate numbers. But yes a dyno is a tuning tool.

If your concerned about wheel diameter changing your HP numbers, use a better dyno such as a eddy current dyno not inertia.

The 1:1 is a "industry" standard, every tuner/dyno shop I know along with any tuning classes you can take will tell you to dyno in a 1:1 ratio or as close to it.
