Sorry, I wasn't exactly clear in my post. I believe that the referenced EAS stock dyno for the S65 is the highest or near the highest recorded (at EAS). Most of the EAS dynos appear to be 10-20 whp lower for stock S65. Same with other Dynojets, up to 30 whp lower stock. In another thread someone suggested that the S65 was overrated. So was trying to say the S65 may be a trickier car to dyno as needs full air cooling/heat exchange effect and high compression ratio is not forgiving to high ambient temps and 91 octane, and where altitude, pressure are critical to achieving timing targets, thereby explaining a possibility that the S65 dynos low compared to situations where have full heat exchange effects (e.g. rototest, dinan, open-road logging with BT).

However, the S55 that is amazingly strong at 414whp...
