Most of us know that you generally get higher HP and TQ numbers from a Dynojet Dynamometer than you do from a Mustang Dynamometer. What is rarely discussed is "why" and which one is more accurate. I've been doing some research and planned on posting my findings here. However, I found an article from Chevy High Performance that summed up my findings, so I decided to post it here instead of writing my own. This article is also found on the Mustang Dyno (http://www.mustangdyne.com/) website. HERE (http://www.dynojet.com) is a link to Dynojet's website.

HERE (http://www.twrobertson.us/dynocomp/CHP0603-article-01.htm) is the article!

Sorry it applys to domestics! It's the nature of the article that counts.

Same here mang. So many factors go into reading correctly, so I would love to dyno on all kinds. That way when someone asks me, I will just pull out a folder :D

This is why some people with similar mods have different #'s. I think that generally Dynojet's give higher readings. There is a shop about 20 min from my house the has a brand new Mustang Dyno. I need to go check it out. It's $100 per hr.(tuning not included) Which isn't too bad....i guess? I just want to put it on the dyno to see what kinda #'s it puts down.
