true!
The Main difference from a numbers standpoint between Mustang and dynojet, is that with Mustang you can change a Value to either make it read higher or lower. Mustang has this power/coast down procedure that u perform several times thats gives you a value. You take those values and then average them out and thats the value you are suppose to use in the Mustang software. Now if you maunually make that value higher or perfrom the power/coastdown procedure wrong and it gives you higher numbers...the dyno will read higher. Same is true with lower values

Now with a dynojet, that number isn't adjustable, that's why its the industry standard and everybody compares them. Now we have both, and they both work great for what they do. If we are talking about a accurate numbers stand point, its no doubt that the dynojet is more accurate. If we are talking about a load control and variable tuning tool, no doubt the mustang is better.


Quick story, we used to do alot of Porsche product testing. Specifically on the 997 Carrera 4. Company was making intakes and exhaust on a already pretty well engineered N/A 3.6 liter. Long story short, is that no matter what this company did they couldn't make any more power with there products. They got everybody involved including current and previous Porsche engineers. Through this process with them being here they had brought all the factory calculated drivetrain loss figures (from Porsche R&D), stating that there was a 13% drivetrain loss on that vehicle. Well with 340BHP, we consistently got 293-296 WHP on over a half dozen Carrera 4's.

So that is one specific instance of the accuracy of dynojets numbers. When you compile that with the 100's if not 1000's of stock NA cars that we have done with the information that is out there, dynojet numbers always seem to be on par with what is expected to see HP at the wheels....
