It was a joke. Something is obviously not working right. IIRC, dynos only measure torque vs. rpm, and it calculates HP. Or vice-versa. The problem may lie there.

probably a tcf setting error.

if you want to know your actual torque (assuming thats your actual hp) multiply your hp by 5252 and divide by the rpm you want.
