why is there such a descrapancy?? Can the dyno's be reading false numbers? Can my car actually be more powerful than it is?

How can u have a 500whp evo and 4,700+ posts and seriously be asking this question??

A car set up correctly on our dyno making 500 whp will run about 135 mph trap speeds.

FFTEC's dyno read somewhat similar to yours.

My car w/ 474 went 130mph

With roughly 530 i've seen 137mph.

With 380 AWHP and my usual bad driving skills, I've trapped as high as 116 MPH....
