    Frank told me that the dyno guy said his secondaries weren't opening and that he was running rich.

    I need an education.

    I now live out in the sticks (came in from the deep sand) and know nothing of the dyno test. What is involved, how is it done, and what do the numbers mean? (I'd ask where to go, but somebody would probably give a location I'd rather avoid;) ).

    Is it flywheel HP, RWHP or something in between?
