Why wouldn't it affect both?

It wouldn't affect HP at the crank but at the wheel, I think the dyno would detect less wheel weight as more HP and torque. The dyno is measuring how quickly a fixed weight is being accelerated and calculating HP and torque. If the wheel is lighter, the same amount of engery should make the drive wheels accelerate more quickly resulting in a higher HP and torque numbers.
