Tom, those numbers were posted selfishly for my car. Here is the 90-91 Civic/CRX Si/Ex as far as I know it.
2250 lbs (process weight) - 50 lbs DW adder = 2200 lbs
2200 lbs / 0.98 FWD subractor = 2244 lbs (if unadjusted)
2244 lbs / 14.5 lb/chp ratio = 154.8 chp
154.8 chp * 0.85 standard driveline ratio loss = 131.6 process whp
OR
154.8 chp - 108 stock chp = 46.8 chp upgrade via IT allowed mods
46.8 chp / 108 stock chp = 43.3% or ~ 43%
wow, that's crazy though there's probably more weight adders that I am NOT aware of. It's been posted on it.com before lots of time, it was well know that the Honda advertised lower than real chp for the D16a6.
there was a guy that knows a guy that said his CRX Si "did 135whp but on a Dynojet". That second guy was not Moser but another well respected CRX dude. if unaltered that dynojet posted 10% higher than real whp, then perhaps 122whp, about 9 whp below target. My suggestion is to talk to Moser or King Motorsports to see how much they were off the mark. Otherwise, I would call that extra 150 lbs "reward weight" for driving a d16a6. (sorry)

That's okay, you're allowed!
Maybe and maybe (mostly depends on $$)... But WGI is very much about power and I don't know T-Bolt very well yet(and my teammate has never driven it)
Oh and If YOU could get those numbers, they should proly through a lil extra weight at it just to be safe!

He would tell you that.....I thought it was good we have both #12 cars in his shop at the same time.
See you at LRP Mickey. I think I owe you a full gas can.

Yep, that was 4 years ago, I've done a fair amount of reading on dynos since then, and while it is correct on the differences on how dynos operate, it's totally wrong on "set in stone" differences between what a motor reads on this dyno or that.
Seriously.
It is NOT accurate, in anyway, to say that a particular type of dyno always reads higher or lower than another.
