No. They are still both rated at 412hp SAE. The variables come in from the dyno, the dyno operator, and a host of other variables. You can't say car A is underrated, yet car B is not, purely based on the dyno. People that spew dyno numbers out like that don't get the real point of it. You can't even compare a dyno on the same car done on different days. It's a tuning tool. Nothing more, nothing less.

Exactly, people spend way to much time worrying about dyno numbers! It is a tool and that's it, the truth is at the track and what your car traps at! I don't know how many people buy a cam that will make X amount at the tire on the dyno and think that's the best choice for there car. I do think some cars are just stronger from the factory, but there is no way they would put down a 20hp difference on the same dyno at the same time.
