    A dynamometer is essentially a brake, that is why some times you will see an engine rated as "Brake Horsepower".

    I was trying to compare nickasil vs castiron sleeves.

    A dynamometer has a load cell/ torque transducer between a large electric motor(28.000lbs in weight) the power of 25 bigblock Chevy engines, with a disc brake fixture on the opposite end. The motor has about 10,000lds of added flywheel weights.(steel) we wind up the rpm, shut off the power to the motor and apply the disc brake measuring the torque and stopping power, rpm.

    Dynamometer measures , records and translates the rate of change in kinetic energy over time and the force required to perform the recorded task.
    This applies to accelleration and decelleration ad per bill argumentation.

    All of which has no bearing on this post.

    Popcorn, butter or whatever...
    Reinheitsgebott counts. Cheers

    I sent my 74 250 cylinder to New Zealand to get plated.. I really liked the porting / type of power the cylinder made.. but it was worn out.. on P8 Wiseco.. and now they aren't made anymore.. so I sent the cylinder to the Kiwi's with a P6 and asked the cylinder to be plated to the piston provided + 3 thou.. great job (the second time) price was around $400 AUD + postage with a 2 week turn around
