rpms on a dyno? true or false
i was looking at a dyno on an exhaust with a friend. and the power/torque crossed around 4k. he immediatly said its not a good dyno and to keep looking. he said that all dynos that are accurate the horsepower/torque will cross at 5200 rpm. is that true?

I imagine this also depends on the camshafts, as there is only 1 camshaft profile best for a specific rpm, and not every car has variable valve timing, so I can see peak power and torque dropping off before before 5200rpm.

Torque = HP / RPM plus some other crazy number thingies. Its not necessarily at peak power and torque where they cross. You could have an engine that the torque and HP lines cross well below peak. If you want to see some good dynos, go to AEM's website (aempower.com) and look at all their dynos. They all cross in the 5200RPM area.
