I ran my Ranger on a chassis dyno, both before and after conversion. It wasn't a very scientific process (my batteries were a little low when the run was made, and we had some troubles measuring motor RPM), but the results are interesting.

The gearheads at the performance shop were I made the runs were quite impressed.
