Your right, i just read that over and it's still a bit low. If i dyno operator gives you raw dyno data, not corrected, it will always be lower than what it should. In order to sort of form a base line, all dyno runs are corrected to sea level atmosphere conditions (1 bar or 14.7psi) and like 70 degrees F or something. So, say you live in a high altitude like me (12.7psi in the atmosphere), then techincally, my real power to the ground is less than the real output of a similar SC that's closer to sea level and in cooler climate.
I don't really think though that this is the case since other cars were putting out what was expected of them. Good luck with figuring it out.
