Hello, Definition: A machine that's used to measure the horsepower output of an engine. A chassis dyno has large rollers upon which the drive wheels are placed. The vehicle is run up to a certain speed and put under load so the amount of power that's being delivered to the wheels can be measured (See Horsepower and Torque). A dyno can also be used to simulate actual driving conditions when troubleshooting various derivability problems. Dynos are also used to simulate driving conditions during certain types of emissions tests.

behjjeh, for future reference if you have problems finding the definition of certain terms, you can try searching on wikipedia.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dyno

For example, if you heard "AFR" and you didn't know what that was, you could search AFR at wikipedia and you would soon discover that AFR means "air fuel ratio"

There is a whole "tuning" forum for this kind of discussion. You can't tune your car unless you get something like the UTEC or other engine management system.
