Isn't HP a calculated value from measured Torque and RPM values? Dynos measure Torque and RPM then calculate HP.

(torque)*(RPM)/5252

 

[Ian Anderson]

Correct Wayne

And the way they get to that calculation is also on that site

See
Power and Torque: Understanding the Relationship Between the Two, by EPI Inc.

Again - all a learning curve for me (near vertical)
