130 hp at the rear wheel is very nice. Couldn't he take a tack reading off a spark plug wire?
Just to refresh everyone about engines: Engines make torque, not horsepower. The dyno measures torque and uses a formula to convert the torque to horsepower. Torque x engine speed/5,252 = HP. Therefore, torque and horsepower at 5,252 rpm are always equal. And an engine is most efficient near it's torque peak.
