Depends on whose dyno you are using. The curves I have seen for the force one takes an area below the curve and gives a number like 104.2 - what does that mean in HP?
the sport devices one that some builders use like Tommy (Johnson)/BRT/souxante etc come up with a HP number like 6.35 plus a torque number and takes atmospheric pressure and ambient temp in to account as well. Given that the W60 is nominally 6HP anything over this will be good, however some engines may push out a high HP number but be very peaky and in practice not very useable on some tracks. All a matter of testing and try before you buy! or buy a dyno for yourself www.sportdevices.co.uk info@sportdevices.co.uk Tel. 0800 6126 977
