I had several shock dyno'd but I have no idea what I'm looking at? I have a 0 to 12 value on the bottom and ft lbs on the side. Is there a formula to see how these translate to regular valve numbers?

Without seeing the particular graph, the 0 to 12 number should be reading the shock speed in inches/second.Generally, dirt shocks are dynoed at 1,3, and 6 in/sec.

There is no formula for converting the pounds of force to a particular shock number. Each shock mfr claims that is proprietary info.
