I have not had my truck on the dino yet, but Sam posted his results the
other day. His rear wheel hp was 211 and torque was 277 corrected. Now if
you add back in 15-20 percent for drive line losses that puts him at 242-253
hp and 318-332 lb/ft of torque at the flywheel. I think he has made similar
mods as you, so this should be fairly close. As for drive line losses, I'm
not sure what it is exactly on the Dakota, but thats what GM says it is on
there trucks.
Correct me if I am off base here guys.
