Hi Brian, It's all on the disc you got from me at Hershey; nice graph on p13 of the report, though I expect the pdf document page is 12 or 14. Nice power output curves for a '69 AT FI (lucky I didn't type that FI AT). Shows the power available for acceleration at the intermediate points through the gears. Dynos don't measure losses to air resistance or the frictional losses between the front tyres and wheels on the road, since the car isn't moving along. Dave.
