Unless you're in the 1000 hp club, and at a dyno day to show off grotesque power numbers, I think it's important to remember that the dyno is ultimately a tool for tuning.
This is why I've said elsewhere that Mustangs and other load bearing dynos can either break hearts OR lift spirits -- there's too many fudge factors.

This is also why I pretty much only go by dynojets for determining power figures.

Load bearing dynos are better for tuning, tho.
