PEAK numbers on a dyno graph don't mean squat!!! Anything less than 2hp difference could be attributed to several other variables.

Why?

Level of smoothing on dyno graph will change PEAK numbers.
PEAK numbers are only good for all out racing.
1-2hp PEAK gains are NOTHING compared to 5+ midrange gains
A curve with a high PEAK point with a range of a couple hundred RPM is WORTHLESS.
