Re: engine dyno vs chassis dyno

Like Marv said my opinion is the same, dynos are for tuning and break in only, using as a tool to try different combos and settings, the numbers are for comparison on that machine only.

It's funny how I know of trucks that on the engine dyno their motor made 100hp more than mine yet on motor they run high 11's and on motor I run low 11's, weight likely about the same, I have a lighter front end they don't have a cage, both on slicks. Now I know setup has lots to do with that, but that's a large difference in time when I'm suppose to be making 100 less hp. Just comparing engine specs I know their numbers are bull****, but hey if that's what the engine builder told them and there's no way you can convince them otherwise they can quote numbers all day but in the end timeslips at the same track tell the truth.
