i was trying to find a Dyno here in ohio to go to and i found this dyno locator thing. on here it has like 6 diffrent dyno types...MD-1750, MD-250, MD-100, MD-1000, MDC-325, MD-66...which one would be the best to go to?
here is the link

They all do the same thing right? Your numbers are not going to be as high on a mustang dyno than a reguler dyno though.

From what I read here a mustang dyno is going to give you a more acurate # of what the car reallymakes to the wheels. Other dynos are going to read a bit higher.

why is it like that? shouldnt it not matter what type it is? i mean if they are all dynos and they all measure "tractive force" or whatever it is and through that they get hp and torque measurements...how is a mustang dyno diffrent than the others?

Dynojet is actually an accelerometer whereby it uses a 3000-3200 pound drum that is used to create an inertia load on the vehicle being tested. The vehicle's horsepower (HP) and torque try to overcome the weight/inertia of the drum to accelerate it. As a result the software and electronics try to measure the horsepower and torque that the vehicle is developing to overcome the drum's weight and inertia. The resulting horsepower and torque will be higher than a true loading dyno because once the drum starts rolling not as much power is needed to keep it going. Example -- When pushing a car on a flat road, once the car starts moving not as much power (effort) is needed to keep it going. The software does not ask for vehicle weight or anything like horsepower needed to maintain 50 MPH (a number that is actually put out by E.P.A. and N.H.T.S.A.).

The Mustang dyno is a true loading dyno, because it uses an inertia weight as well as an eddy current motor that is attached to the rollers. This eddy current motor creates a drag on the shaft by way of electricity that causes a magnetic field to try and overcome the torque going through the roller shafts. This current is controlled by software that is always trying to simulate load as if the car is driving in real world conditions. The real benefit from the loading dyno is the ability to maintain a load that allows a tuner to properly go through a fuel map or ignition map and tune the chip for optimum horsepower and torque. It has the ability to also simulate the IM240 emissions test as required in some states. It can check 1/4 mile times as well as times for 0-60 MPH and 0-100 MPH. It can also be used for road testing and simulation for drivability problems. As a result of the loading capability, the dyno numbers from a mustang dyno will come out lower than the inertia (dynojet) dyno.

If you going to tune it, go to the Mustang dyno. If you just want a number either is fine. Just make sure if you re-dyno after some mods go to the same place under similar weather conditions.
