Im going on the dyno friday to get my baseline hp before I do the turbo. They asked if I want to do the driveability or horsepower pull. I know the horsepower pull really puts a load on the drivetrain, and the driveability is free rollers that also does a/f and stuff. What do you guys usually use when at the dyno?

Tell them nevermind and find a dynojet so we can compare your numbers to what most people dyno on.

Yea, but I get to use a mustang 720 for free.....

In that case I would just ask them what method would be most similar to a dynojet, so that you can get comparable numbers. When it comes to tuning you want to do full load, but for comparison purposes Iwould use a dynojet or whatever method is closest.

mustangs are ok for tuning, but the amount of power that they read is different than a dynojet.

The most important thing is to use the same type of dyno, or preferably the same dyno. Comparing dyno results against another maxima half way across the country with a different set up on a different dyno is kind retarded. A dyno should be used to compare your car against your car.

When people bring up dyno's between different cars I always think of Nealoc187's 180whp dyno.....and that he ran a 13.4 @102. Then there are guys putting down 200whp NA and running low 14's.

True, however when the HP levels get up higher, the differences between dynos become less of a factor. 10hp discrepancies on 200hp cars are a bigger deal than 10hp differences o 400hp cars (percentage-wise). BTW it was 185hp not 180 lol.
