Dyno Q

[final5-0]

Saw someone say a Mustang Dyno will be 7% less than a Dyno Jet.

What do all of you think about that

it makes sense. with the load of the car, it will lose more horse than a 'freewheeling' action. granted, you still have to spin that big ass drum on a dynojet. ive heard mixed opinions from different shops.

Search my threads Grady......I thought is was more than that it was off......I am planning a trip to see Rob at the beginning of June....they are in a new shop....maybe a different dyno...I'll prove it or not if you need to....I only need a couple of runs....

The old Mustang dyno we used was about 15% lower than a Dynojet - we know that because the same car was taken from that dyno to all the local dynos to check on that. But, one thing to keep in mind with a Mustang dyno - and to some extent with a Dynojet, the operator can play games with some of the settings so a Mustang dyno can actually give higher numbers than a Dynojet.

The new dyno here is a brand new Dynojet - I like them SO much better than any other dyno and we've used probably all of them. The software is a lot better.

it seems to me the difference may be more than just 7%. the last dyno day i went to, i saw modded cars layin down less than there stock counterpart would on a dynojet. for instance: modded 02 GT= 216rwhp

Our club members have been on several different dynos in the area. Sounds like what our guys have seen as well. On the comparison, and the operator part of it.

Thanks to all for your thoughts and info

I only asked because I thought I had seen Don use that 15% value before
with reference to the MD.

Now ... What do you guys feel is more fair or shall we say realistic

SAE or Standard method of calibration

It seems to me, you see more pulls with the Standard cal these days.

Over the past few years it seems SAE was what you saw a lot.

I've noticed Standard usually produces higher values than SAE

WOW

I thought I would have gotten a lot of feedback to my last Q's

Is it that nobody has any thoughts or opinions about this
or
Maybe I would have had more response in the Talk section
