Yeah, it's a bummer. Any unusual dips or baubles in the chassis dyno curve? Does the peak to drop off prematurely. It's a lot harder for an engine to pick up momentum when there's a car and earth attached. Water brakes are more forgiving. Compare engine to chassis dyno graphs. You can learn a lot. From there, I guess it all depends on just how uneasy you are. If the answer is VERY--then you need to spend time with the software and money on the chassis dyno. Could find another 30-40 horsepower. We just spent both (time and money) with Jobe at Turbo People. It's amazing what the right person and a laptop can do.
