Dyno testing is as real as it gets, You don't see NASCAR engine builders
letting there guys make a few laps and then say "how did the HP and TQ
feel?" They put every engine on the dyno and analyze power and TQ for the
results. There is no biases in a Dynamometer, there is however biases in
personal opinions and feelings.
