HP vs MAF Flow and dyn/cyl
HP vs MAF Flow and dyn/cyl While logging some tuning runs, I noticed my MAF was flowing 52.64 lb/min and dyn/cyl was 1.02 at WOT. This was at 5600 RPM, 11.7 AFR and 6 psi.
I'm trying to get a close estimate of crank HP for these values. I've plugged mine into the known rule of thumb formulas, and don't think they are right.
What MAF and dyn/cyl are you showing for your known (dyno) horsepower levels? I'd like to see and compare as it will be a while before I get a dyno pull in.

Not sure how reliable that is. But I really hope it's right as my maf read 58lb before it maxed and I'll take ~580hp at 8psi on a stock engine anyday! 
In all seriousness, you can gain or loose 50hp just in timing with the same airflow so I would think there is no way to read horsepower by airflow alone unless you already have some kind of baseline.
