Engine Power measurement???

Hi!!!

I know you guys talk about power lost but how do you know that your 8's are losing power? is there way i can measure it at home or something? without measuring your power lost, can you be sure if you power has been restored?

tough to measure it at home, I believe most people are just very familiar with their vehicles and when it loses a substantial amount, it becomes quite obvious to that drive.
Example: they say when the Catalytic converter clogs, you'll experience dramatic power loss and it' supposed to be noticeable.

I just put my car on a dyno once a year to see how much I've gained
