The Mustang Dyno is better for tuning. The dynojet has not "become" the standard, it set the standard by being the earliest of chassis dynos. But, they are old tech. The Mustang Dyno will set a testing window (say 65-115 mph, or whatever your rpm range works out to in a 1 to 1 drive gear.) It adds resistance to the rollers to simulate wind resistance, and vehicle weight as stated earlier.
Here is why a Mustang dyno is better. Tune a car on the ragged edge on a Dynojet. Then take it to the track and subject it to more of a strain than it ever saw on the dyno. What could happen?
Kaboom.
If you just want to whip it out and measure it with the boys, get on a Dynojet. The number will be higher.
