Favorite Dyno?

Mitco39 · 02-06-2014, 10:31 AM

I started doing a bit of research an dyno's and I am looking to hear from you guys what your favorite setup is and why. I know there are many stories about how some read high ect ect so I just want to get a short list going of the best ones you come across.

Thanks!

I have always been partial to dynojets, fairly simply and straight forward readings with minimal adjustments being made. Allows for straight forward readings and "close" comparisons.
My issues with other dynos is not really the dyno it is the people running it, they are prone to adjust input values to inflate or work in their favor to manipulate the results (it has happened to me before and called them out and they got upset).

Thanks for the input, they do appear to have the best setups after browsing a few different webpages.

Also I will say, this comes from talking to tuners over the years, some like the mustang dynos and such which allow all the input and changes because you can tweak the car better. They say it allows for a better input of what the car will be doing on the road versus just sitting on some spinning wheels. Remember the dyno is a tuning tool first, so if this allows for tunes to be better adjusted and set, the safer the car.

Dynojets are my favorite so you can compare them. Mustangs have too many settings to play with. I was tuned on a Mustang, but I use a dynojet as my control.
