Mustang Dynos are inaccurate?!?

[turbolx]

Well, since people here seem to be more content racing their dyno sheets than actaully going to the track to find out who's quicker, I don't see why I should bother with this debate much further.

I guess I wasted all that time in engineering school too, because someone says I'm wrong on the internet.

The bottom line is as I stated before. The dyno (either one) is a tuning tool, not the ultimate judge of vehicle performance. That's why we go to the track. A competent tuner can certainly tune a car well using either type of dyno, I know I could. The trick is that the load bearing dynos can do a few more things that make the tuning process much easier when it comes to keeping motors together on the track.

If you wish to disagree with me on the merits of load bearing and vehicle simulation, fine. Just realize that this does not make me wrong. Do the homework and actually read some automotive engineering textbooks AND go to the track more often and you'll start to understand a little more. I am confident that I am short on neither technical expertise nor practical "real world" experience on this one, folks.

Your mileage may vary. You wanted my opinion, you got it!
