Thumbs up Would kerb weight affect power reading?

Would the kerb weight of the car entered in the DynaPack setup affect the power reading of the dyno run?

I just realised that I gave the wrong weight during my last dyno and was wondering if this could have affected the power figures in any way.

Kerb weight = (UK/Commonwealth English)

Curb weight = (US English)

Who is uneducated here...?

I was actually directing my criticism toward BluemetalS2k for incorrectly pointing out your spelling. He also said your grammar is horrible. Spelling and grammar are different. Your grammar and spelling are both fine. Welcome to S2ki.com...where we ignore your questions and delve deep into the world of unrelated tangents.

I have no clue if weight affects power reading calculations. Just strap up and go!
