I had my truck dynode and it was way more than 135HP. Something is wrong
with there dyno machine.
It was 208HP/278lbs

Subject: DML: Dyno Results
Well guys, I just got back from a chassis dyno test....it's all in MPH as
they didn't have a tach pick-up compatible with my truck (they usually only
do diesels). The hp curve is essentially linear from start to finish. The
torque curve is essentially flat with one hole b/n 43 & 54 MPH and then a
spike b/n 54 & 69 MPH where it peaks at 282 ft-lbs. The part that bothers
me the most about the test though is that the HP only climbed to 130 hp!?!?
That translates to about 160hp at the engine if I'm not mistaken. Anybody
else dyno their trucks (stock) with similar results? The 4.7L is rated at
235hp I know that. What gives?
Also note: they dyno'ed it in 4th gear from idle to redline. It made me
smile that there was a whopping 250 ft-lbs when punched from idle (well a
little over idle at about 1200rpm)!!
I'll send the test in excel format once I convert everything over to RPM if
you guys want.
