My dyno numbers

I'm just wondering where the public can find these values listed.

It should be public domain info but I can only find references to it and no actual tables with data

Anyway, notwithstanding the degree to which any given dyno reports "true" values, I find that you get less consistent results between load holding dynos vs. inertia dynos because different values may be entered between shops.

I say, find a place with a dynojet. Your numbers will be easier to compare and contrast as the key value of relevance (the weight of the drum the wheels accelerate) is fixed from unit to unit, and thus results are far more consistent (i.e., reliable). Then you just have to note SAE values vs uncorrected and or STD, as well as the gear you are in (4th is fine, although derived torque values tend to be a bit lower relative to 5th).

In other words, the values different individuals get from shop to shop on Mustang dynos are harder to compare than the values folks get from dynojets, and at the end of the day, THAT is how to most clearly conclude anything about how your VQ37 compares to others.

If you go, ask for the drf (actual data file) -- if you email it to me I can make comparison graphs of your output vs several others.

What matters is consistency.

For an individual car, that means sticking with the same shop; across cars, that means the same values must be entered for the formulas used to estimate power and torque -- on dynojets, that value is fixed (known weight and diameter of drum) on load bearing dynos, that value may be quite different from shop to shop.

Load holding dynos are better for tuning, and perhaps for making comparisons for a single vehicle, but they make it much harder to evaluate the results for any one specific vehicle in relation to data gathered from other vehicles at different shops.
