That would be correct as well. I know with the 350z's, they dyno in 5th with the manuals and 4th with the autos, so I believe you are correct.

Dyno's are not consistent. There are Dynojets, Dynopacks, and Mustang Dyno's, which will all produce different numbers even with the same car on the same day. There's STD numbers and SAE numbers.

My point would be that even though you dyno'd 145 whp, say this was on a Mustang dyno, you probably would have hit around 165 whp on a Dynopack because of the different ways they operate.
