car weight question Was looking at the dyno sheet for my car from last year and noticed that the weight that was entered seemed very high (3750 lbs). Will that affect the hp or torque values? It was on a Mustang dyno if that matters. I got around 355rwhp and 360rwtq. Car runs real good, was just wondering if the weight entered would change the hp and tq numbers. Thanks.
It changes the amount of load put on the dyno's brake which measures torque and is then converted into horsepower numbers.
If you have a convertible like is in your signature and an automatic trans, with a normal 200lb person in the drivers seat that is pretty damn close if not low for what your car really weighs.
