Default getting my 350z dynoed. any tips?

I'm going to get my 350Z dynoed this summer. Any tips for accurate readings?

From my limited knowledge, different dynos/settings can give different results, so they have to be setup properly. I know nothing about them.

The dyno will be available at a Ford Mustang car show, in case that helps predict what dyno may be used. Who knows. I'm new.

Oh, and my 350z is a stock 2006 plus an poweradder (?) air filter. I'm getting it dynoed out of curiosity. If there's other threads on here about stock dyno runs, please point me to it. I'm interested in what we get to our wheels.

Pholicious, I'm coming up to Moncton this weekend, both Friday and Saturday night. For your beer fest. I've been the last few years and it's great! Might have some free time on Saturday, if you're close and I have time I could stop out.

Thanks for the tips!

The main way to be accurate is use the same dyno and conditions for all tests. First dyno is just a meaningless base number.

JCITY, the dyno should be free, hopefully. I'll let you guys knows.

TuckerE36, those numbers don't sound too bad!

terrasmak, that's a very good point.

If its a mustang gathering then I can only assume the dyno will be set up with some super generous correction factor so all those mustang hicks can stroke each others cacks to inflated dyno numbers all day.
