Default Different kind of dyno?

Does anyone have any experience with this type?? Thoughts?
Also....does anyone have any kind of ballpark figure for what a 2wd model of this cost?

Yes, I own one :-)

I have the basic model (1500) and it goes for $43,000 retail. Substantially more expensive than a dynojet (at least in initial purchase price), but more versatile as well as pretty portable too.

I've owned mine for 6 months and after having used dynojets for 7 years, the Dynapack is definitely superior for most testing and tuning jobs.

Hey UL, I know this has been gone over once or twice, but I don't recall in how much detail.

I remember you mentioning the versatility of the dynapack by being able to tune at individual RPM's, etc. Well, I was talking to a friend who opened a motorcycle tuning shop, and after him convincing me how much better the Mustang dyno he had was for tuning than a dynojet, I began to wonder, what are the differences in features between the Mustang and the Dynapack? The way he explained it, they seem to do similar things, including loading different amounts at each RPM, ramping the load up and down, etc.

The biggest difference is that the Mustang dyno is still a roller dyno, with all the inherent issues associated with trying to strap a car down. You can get accurate and useful results with virtually any dyno, but a roller dyno requires careful attention to tire pressure, alignment, strap down pressure, etc. which can be completely avoided on a Dynapack.

UL,

Do you have a picture of the Dynapack in action? I would really like to see how it attaches to the hubs.
