There was a poster with Carl Lewis on it that had him in a uniform that looked like the tire design (I believe it was Michelin) that said "Power is nothing if you cant get it to the That right there is the difference between two cars that make 1,000 hp and weigh the same. A dyno is great for finding problems under load, finding your shift points, ect and is to be used as a tool in tuning. I would take a dyno tune over a tune done while driving any day....People like Bob Kuregan, Mike Post, Marv at C@M Performance, and optima batteries challenge sponsor West Bend Dyno all agree with that. Other big name tuners do too.This statement is true to a point "the dyno hp number should not be used for direct comparisons of dissimilar engine combo's, a dyno is nothing more than a big a$$ torque wrench to let you know if your change is positive or negative, nothing more, nothing less ". It should be used as a tool, and factored into an equaision, however isnt everything....</blockquote>
