Dyno Woes

Could you guys please comment on this with whatever technical/experience you may have that may shed some light...

A dyno of a modded single turbo 13B yields 367 hp and 575 lb-ft of torque.

a) have you ever seen ANY 13B with torque this far off from hp?
b) is this physically possible given the mechanics of a rotary engine
c) what could possibly be setup incorrectly on the dyno to yield this result (since it is obviously flawed in my opinion)

Thanks in advance,
Amir

a) No
b) No
c) I don't know exactly, but someone had this same problem fairly recently. Do a search, I think it had something to do with the dyno settings.

Do you think this may have something to do with the Rotary engine's real rpm vs stated rpm causing the "divide by 2" torque issue?
