Horsepower and torque numbers from dyno testing are next to useless in my opinion. NEVER had an engine that produced big dyno power numbers dominate competition. The only numbers to pay attention to are those that relate to recovery and acceleration capabilities. Horsepower is only a bragging number and it's really only applicable to steady-state engine operation. Engines running steady-state when idling or following the pace car, or boat racing, which is nothing but a goddamn egotrip for millioniars under 5'6.
