dont need to see the HP only..the torque and at where the max hp and torque is available..
yeap, 1 think is to see where the max hp and torque. No point if the max power / max torque happens at top rev, who the hell is going to dragging just at top rev?

second is to see the smoothness of the dyno chart. a high torque/hp machine can have a dyno which ripples a lot. The bike will feel heavy on butt dyno. I am sure those who tuned carburetor before had experience. At certain air-fuel setting, you feel the whole bike is lighter when u open accel, but at certain point, you'll feel the bike very heavy. Actually the hp/torque figure doesnt change much, it is due to the ripple of the chart.
the 3rd one, is gear ratio. That 380bhp RX7 vs 480bhp RX7 that I've mentioned, the lower hp car has custom gear ratio to keep its gear around the max torque and max power region (powerband). Its final gear is shorter too, hence quickly can reach top speed.
