Why I hate Dyno's
Why I hate dyno's:
1-they don't fully simulate real driving conditions
2-depending on what dyno you run dempends on your results
3-each dyno can run different numbers on the same settings over and over
4-each dyno has different settings so depending on what setting you are on you are getting either more or less whp
5-depending where you are int he world depends on your numbers... elevation really does matter... same car on same dyno will run different numbers above and below sea level (clorado vs new orleans)
I've seen my car(stock 2003 track 350z) run about 250whp on a dyno and 230whp on a dyno... that's a huge difference in power so what's the point, like i've heard dyno tuning sucks compared to actually tuning the car while driving it... hence why I hate dyno's

A dyno simply put is a tuning tool. There really isnt any other way to set up a timing map properly besides on the dyno, although I personally believe afr should always be confirmed off the dyno.

Also tire pressure and tyre type make a huge difference on the dyno results.

I like the dyno just to show the difference in power a mod makes. I baselined my car, then while on the dyno the mrev2 was put in, then the spacer. Its a good tool to see what difference a mod makes. It defeats the purpose if you do it different days with different conditions, but i had it done while still strapped in and it shown a good deal of information.
