Dyno Truths

Interesting dyno story: a Ford guy I know bought a motor from NASCAR star Rusty Wallace, he watched it run on Rusty`s dyno down south where it made 780hp, brings it back up here and takes it to the dyno shop he uses where it makes 725hp....
My motor was run on the same dyno where it made 635hp.......I was disappointed with that number until I ran it at Road America (Elkhart lake, WI) and pulled away from a 700hp BB...I didn`t win that day because of an oiling problem but I did finish second, the icing on the cake, I did go almost two seconds a lap faster than ever before......I did win the next time out though. This dyno is whats known as a conservative dyno.....
