Stall convertors on the Dyno
How much horsepower will be lost on the dyno because of the stall convertor? If any. My numbers seem low. I've got a 3600 stall and could not keep it locked in 3rd gear. Just wondering if the convertor could cause the low numbers.

Re: Stall convertors on the Dyno
A high stall will cause very inaccurate chassis dyno readings. However, the dyno is still useful as a tuning tool. IOW, the numbers, while not "accurate" are quite reproducible.
