Dyno's are good for one thing, to tell you if the changes you made, whether parts, or tune made more power or less" qoute from straightline.

Do you have any details of this car that made 390rwhp and ran 9.30's? What's funny is my STS GT67 set up w/3200 3.73's only made 330rwhp @8psi. car ran 13.1 @105 spinning 400ft and coasting across the finish, wasn't supposed to run faster than 13.9 (convertible) my car runs and the data (injector duty, airflow, etc) says the car should be making 425-450rwhp.
The car was a very light 1990 Ford Mustang GT with a 408cui SBF, 12.5:1 Compression worked over Edelbrock Victor SR head/Intake, Demon Carb, C4 transmission with a 4500rpm stall, non lock up. The motor made 647bhp on the engine dyno, and 390rwhp on our Mustang MD-1100SE dyno. With that loose of a non lock up converter, that set up will never show alot of numbers at the rear wheels.

My car when we looked at the data there was a difference of 780rpm between the crankshaft and the driveline. I was reading on the forum somewhere that someone posted they added a 100 shot nitrous, lost 55 hp on the dyno and picked up .8 in the 1/4
