Perhaps the hood scoop is the reason the Dmax didn't dyno well.
A scoop would be pretty ineffective on a dyno.
It is very strange that the so called power loss is so high due to "drivetrain loss".
This is an area where the Dmax has always shined.
doubt the hood scoop had any effect. since duramax HP is the SAE certified spec, it is done with the engine stationary on a stand so any ram effect from speed isn't taken into account.
The DA combo has been dynoed many times over the years and has consistently put more power to the ground than higher rated trucks.
And in the recent Ike hill climb, it also put more power to the ground.
Yet this dyno test is inconsistent (by a HUGE margin) with those other tests.
