Default How to correctly read a dyno - how to spot fakes?

I was looking over dyno charts and I noticed a few posts that were picking out that certain dyno readouts as doctored beacuse certain information is missing. I know how to read the basic dyno chart RPMs, HP, Toqrue. But is there more to a chart? How do you spot a fake or misleading readout?

Is Church a bad shop?

To my knowledge, they are fine, but they have an ultra high reading dyno. Like highest in the country. If you get a baseline done there, you would be in better shape because you can just use the change to gauge performance increase.

It's a dynapak what do you expect. I just find it funny how people forget Church was one of the OG tuners who was there for the s2k community

Only numbers that matter are ET's. Dyno's are a tuning tool.

Doesn't matter where you dyno the car as long as your baseline is on the same dyno. It could be Church Automotive, evasive etc. The dynapak reads at the hub where as others read at the wheel. Church's dyno does read high but so does the baseline.
