The article is also silent on the ramp rates actually used which can also radically change the power readings.

That comparison and some of the dynos used are flawed on many levels......I smell something fishy with that article.....perhaps someone wanted to acheive a certain outcome with the dyno readings.
I was reading this article last week cuz I was bored on a plane (No snakes). I was shaking my head the whole time. So un-scientific like most of thier tech articles. I skip that whole section whenever I read that mag.
