Years ago I put my wide-bed on an electric dyno. On an electric dyno, you can let the dyno drive the wheels. At the time I was running a 2-port Riley conversion on a B block, stock B cam, single glass-bowl Holley carb, stock exhaust, B trans. It had 60 hp at the wheels and took 25 hp to drive the wheels and trans, I just pushed in the clutch and let the dyno do the driving. I believe percentages do not apply in this case, as Jack Sahft does. If I put my truck on the dyno today with a hot 4-port in it, the hp to drive the wheels would be the same.
