Excellent analysis. As a software engineer I can agree that your description seems logical.
Thanks,
Beers on me.
I'm not an engineer but I think I understand too.

Yet again disagreement in the ranks. Read the scientific post about sampling engines and how its too expensive to dyno all of them....all sounded reasonable to me, then Trundle says they are all dyno'd...One of them is wrong, and it makes it very hard to believe.

160 911s are made every day. I've seen them doing it. I've stood outside the very room where they carry out tests on every engine. They wouldn't let us inside - they are controlled environments. I've even seen the benches where they dismantle engines that aren't working right.
Guys, I'm just telling you what the Porsche factory told me and what I saw with my own eyes in Zuffenhausen.

I don't want to get into this (as I have little knowledge of the factories workings with this) BUT you most certainly can have a Dyno done at the crank and not just at the wheels. IN FACT there are inherent problems with getting dyno numbers at the wheels 9parasitic drag from gears, aux systems etc.) It is MUCH prefered to run a dyno test off the crank on the bench.
I just don't see how they would want to red-line the engine without the break-in process and without seating the valves etc. If an engine makes 355bhp when it's 5 minutes old, it will make more at 5000 miles...

But dyno is another thing. By definition dyno is performed at the wheel not at the engine crankshaft, so even if they redline the engines for a few minutes they don't dyno them Always remember and according to the witnesses this test is being performed on a bench, that said it's a bench-test, so dyno is out of question.

As regards your tour guide he only told you that PAG 'tests' every engine, not 'dyno' each unit.
At this point let's try to touch a common base on the terminology as to better understand what's really happening.
@BoxsterBoy+EasyRider (again)
All in all PAG manufactures annualy 100k units -full range of models- or approximately 277 cars every day. Probably 160 out of them are 911s (plural, not the 's' model) so take into account that according to their quality plan they should be bench-testing all of those engine units. Imagine now how tougher this would be if they were to actually dyno them.

BTW, I'm still waiting for your car's dossier stating the actual horsepower of your bench-tested engine.
