I have been on both types here with very similar results, however heavy rims and tires will lower Dynojet readings which is a variable thats not effected with the Dynapack because its a hub dyno with the rear hub bolted directly to the power absorber of the dyno.

Point is with heavier rims and tires your DynoJet numbers may be lower than a Dynopack, otherwise they should be pretty close.

Good luck....

My tuner (Rick @ Synergy) uses a dyna pack. Like Tony said, its a hub driven dyno, so it removes the wheel variable.

Only comparison i have numbers wise is my wife's cammed, bolt on WS.6. On MTI's dynojet, with their tune it made 386rwhp/352rwtq. On the dynapack, the only change was a tune from Rick at it made 392/368. I know the tune can play a big role, but its a 6hp/tq difference. Id say the numbers are pretty close.

I do all my tuning on a Dynapack.. Its a great tuning tool and like mentioned above it takes out all variables such as wheel weight, strap tension, etc.

Very easy to steady state tune with the Dynapack.. Probably the best tuning tool I have used, besides the tuning software itself obviously.

The Dynapack and Dyno Dynamics are two of the best dynos for tuning. I wouldn't want my car tuned on anything else. It says a lot about the tuner and the shop when you see one of these dynos set up in a proper dyno cell vs. a Dynojet just sitting in the corner of the shop with a fan or two.

You will be happy going to RPT. The dyno is nice but the tuner will definally bring out the power in your setup. You wont be disappointed in Brian's tuning skills...
