Default Dyno Virgin

Never been on a dyno, but have seen more than a few ran on one.
One I been thinking about bolts to the rear studs (unsure on Brand)
Guy I talked to said it was $75 for 3 pulls and no tunning....it would be for giggles anyway IF I took it there....was only looking for numbers anyway.

How accurate ?
Is it worth it ?
Would I be better to just keep hitting the track...not that I get a lot of track time anyway.

Just thinking out loud
Still not sure I want to do it.

The dyno is only really good for tuning purposes. You wanna how fast your car truly is then go to the track

$40-50 is more like it in my area for 3 pulls.

Try Wallace Calculator...very accurate for both cars I've entered data on.
RWHP was within 5 hp of the dyno. Enter car weight and 1/4 trap speed for rwhp. Lots of other fun formulas on there, again very accurate on my two cars (results will vary of course on some formulas).
