Message If you were working for NASA, or the Air Force, or any other institution where accurate test results are needed, that chart would be thrown out as useless since you know an aberration occurred and the test data was skewed because of it. In other words you know something happened which is known to affect the result, so the result was contaminated with junk data. To get it right what you normally do is run the test again.

Now if your intended audience is a bunch of people who don't know any better I can see proudly displaying that result, since the botched result most likely shows a peak number which is higher than what it actually put down and people love to see high peak numbers.

You had to know that the result was ruined once it smoked the wheels on the dyno, and if you thought that the car could back up those numbers with a clean dyno run, you would have done it.

In any event, a shop proudly displaying bogus numbers seems to be a bit shady.
