I hope in future they dyno the right way, the numbers will be 200-400 hp lower but at least they will be real numbers.
How did they dyno the trucks the wrong way?

You guys have to understand, no matter how they do it 'ole Lenny here won't be happy with the results.
Well I don't believe it would make a 200-300 HP difference. That would mean my fathers truck wasn't even making stock horsepower.
Plus isn't that the point of the constant horsepower rating? They drew my dads little cat down and it just kept holding the power. I would believe that the rotating mass of the trans and wheels would have an instant effect, but no after its held at that RPM for even just a few seconds or so.
That is my dads truck. I did the fuel system and turbo. Much of it is the same as dodge Cummins stuff so parts are pretty straight forward. The turbo was actually on my pulling truck a few days before Antrim. The Mack ran better than I expected. (I was saying lots of prayers) I was happy with it.
Having been around big truck waterbrake dynos for 23 years, Ive never seen one run from the bottom up. So to say Antrim diesel, Cummins power systems, Alban Cat, Penn Detroit, Hunter Peterbilt, and countless PTO and engine dynos are "doing it wrong" is a bit unfair to some decent and experienced shops.
