[QUOTE=passmans2kny,May 30 2009, 08:24 PM]i think its mostly bc there no rear wheels on the car on the dynapack, i know they say it anticipates that, but it doesnt. i always thought mustangs were the lowest reading dynos, i was wrong.

that's cool, just curious if some of the difference in torque is do due the different dynos or maybe they load the car differently and you just didn't hit full boost as early. your HP the mustang dyno is 11.4% lower but the torque is 17.7% lower.

thanks for being honest and posting this!
kinda funny to me how on EVO sites and some other sites I've been on everyone accepts how different brand dynos read differently but it's always a touchy subject on here for some people. basically in order of power this is how common dyno's will rank as far as reading horsepower, listed highest to lowest...
DynaPak (highest reading)
DynoJet
Mustang
Dyno Dynamics (lowest reading)
personally when looking at dyno sheets I give the most credibility to DynoJets simply because there are no user defined values that get entered that can effect the power results. DynaPak's tend to read higher anyway but you have to enter information that, whether by accident or on purpose, (cough, Church's dyno, cough) can change the numbers. on Mustang dynos you have to enter the weight of the car and unless there's a vehicle scale at the shop the weight is never going to be 100% accurate. again, whether by accident or on purpose, you throw in the wrong weight and you can inflate the numbers. Dyno Dynamics allow you to put in a correction factor but I've only ever seen one shop that actually does that on their Dyno Dynamics dyno. I know Mase does not add a correction factor and that's one more reason his numbers are impressive considering he's using the lowest reading dyno that's out there.
in the end all dyno's read slightly different and if you really want the most accurate way to show power gains you need a baseline on the same dyno that you're going to come back to later after your mods. then everyone can look at the baseline and your power run and see if it's high or low compared to what they're used to.
