Well, Dynojet does offer all that stuff as well.

At least for motorcycles for sure. You can buy the separate load bearing option for a bike Dynojet, it'll set you back about 10k or so. You can add on airbrakes and all that great stuff. Dynojet's software also comes preloaded with information about different motorcycles for tuning reference. I haven't bothered to look if they have options for cars like they do for bikes, it'd just make sense that they would.

As far as tuning, I'd rather have a real number than one that has been modified by outside factors. The more factors, the more room for error.

I don't buy into hype, or things that are sketchy when all the calc and physics come to a end. Taking a real number, and modifying it with external and non-relating data based on an assumption that the data being applied as a modifier is correct, and based on the assumption that all the data are constant's when in fact they are sometimes variable, makes the Mustang Dyno's readout sketchy to me.

As far as making it easier to keep engines together at the track, I haven't seen any of the bikes that have been dynoed by my friends shop have a problem with that, and Dynojet certainly wouldn't have the reputation it does if their dyno was a part of blowing engines up.
