    It says that your peak torque was at almost 6,300 RPM's. That has to be a bogus test.
    I'd ask for a refund. Top speed, 107 mph? No way. I'd go with the 130
    being correct.

    Almost sounds like slippage. Did he have it cinched down tightly? I've heard that slop in the straps would cause a lot of problems with a chassis dyno. Either way...I'd avoid using that shop again. Will a car and motor combination even do what they are telling you??? Sounds impossible. I guess the question has to be asked...do you regularly get your butt handed to you by Toyota Yaris??? :biglaugh: I didn't think so!

    Can you post that image a little bigger so we can all and ask what the dyno tech was smoking that day?
