Dynojets are notorious to show higher numbers. We have a Land and Sea Dynomite, more comparable to a Mustang Dyno I guess you could say. We have the option to change whatever readings we want, you may find they will figure in less to show you big numbers. Just remember the numbers do not matter until you change something and try again on the same dyno on the same weather conditions-or inside. Also doing the test in third gear will show better results with "clihimm-clears throat" lower horsepower cars. I do not think there is a such thing though as Negative Horsepower on a Dyno unless they are using a water brake or brake...still isn't negative but road force load. Basically like climbing a hill and making the engine work.
