Huntindog,
Qoute:
"It's been a couple of years but, it was brought up about how Ford and Dodge came up with their power numbers vs. GM.
GM was the ONLY one to rate the power by the stringent SAE method.
I forget the particulars, but basically think peak vs. continuous power. That explains how a lower rated truck such as the GM can win these contests."
BINGO!!!! You win 1st place!
And if the engine is stripped on a test stand or the output measured at the drive wheel!
Where's this info coming from? Motor Trend reports that all three HD's still use their own in house numbers for 2015, not the J8207 rating your implying on this HD thread.
SAE certified dyno tests
Thanks, I mistakenly thought the reference was about Tow ratings.
More importantly it is a unbiased approach,that shows who is really telling the truth, and who is blowing smoke.
And based on the performance of the road tests being done at that time, it proves that blowing smoke, doesn't get the load up the mountain.
It takes REAL power to do that.
