First off, it's hard to tell which graph is which because the colors are nearly the same (at least on my screen). But my very uneducated guess would be the one that is staying near peak power longer.

When horsepower is that close it is usually who can ever drive better!Sometime's a lesser hp car can outrun a much more hp car due to the driver.

Lol... I have heard it quite a few times now... Funny thing is our dyno is right in line with several other local dynos and even lower than two in Alabame and one in North Carolina.... To each their own.... #s are just #s anyway if the person cant drive the car to its full potential....

You either have to have good driving skill's with low hp or High hp and little driving skill's!I choose high hp #'s so the pony's can make up for my not able to being able to drive.As long as i can keep it straight ,I'm good.
