It really makes you wonder, why the hell do we even have dynos? Mustangs read notoriously high, dynojets low, and hell dynapacks dont even account for the wheels! They are bolted onto the hubs. Thats why I really dont find the need/want to put my car on the dyno. My car makes what it makes, maybe 110 horsepower, maybe 1000, My view on how fast it is, is that once its tuned, itll be fast enough.
Yipper...
They are great tuning tools but results need to be verified in the real world. It doesn't matter what the HP is, if you make adjustments while on the dyno that net gains you are going in the right direction.
The best example was a buddy who is in PA that is ntorious for getting everything out of a combo. His 434 powered 3400# Vette dynoed at 399...ran 10.1x@135MPH.

I have a little bit of a rub near lock but if you are turned to lock on a track there are other problems already...
