Mustang Dynos are inaccurate?!?

My other problem is with a prior statement of yours where you said "I will gladly put a car that makes 400rwhp on my MD1750 up against any car that makes 400rwhp Dynojet in a race." If you're implying that your car will win, tell us how it could with less actual horsepower. I'd say it can't unless it was inaccurately reporting power.

If a MD reads different from a Dynojet, how do we really know which one is wrong? Maybe we have been brainwashed thinking the Dynojet is the right reading all along when it is in fact reporting incorrectly. I think turbolx was simply pointing out that MD's read lower and 400 rwhp on a MD would be higher on a Dynojet. So if you compared those 2 cars on the same dyno they would show different numbers, hence one in theory would be faster (assuming same weight, traction capabilities, etc.).

They both do the job, The MD is just a better tuning tool.

Amen.
