Re: hp estrimate again.
67_C-30, definitely. We are in agreeance. The point being that if you want to max out your horsepower you have to tune the engine, that can be on a chassis dyno or at the track. The track may even be a little better at achieving real world power but it is much, much more inconvenient. Engine dynos are great but they don't really get you all the way there. The engine needs to be in the car/truck to really optimize everything. However, I would never tell people they HAVE to have their engine tuned (dyno or track) for it to be a fun/well running vehicle. You can do a lot by ear, nose and seat of the pants as long as you know what un-burnt fuel smells like. If its just a cruiser or daily driver then you don't really have to mess with hard core track or dyno tuning. Good conversation here, by the way!
