It doesn't really matter. Dyno numbers are for show, track numbers are for the dough.

If you want to see higher numbers wait for the dynojet.

Are you getting your car tuned or just dynoed? When using a Mustang dyno you are to use the total vehicle weight with driver.

That's not always the case.

if you are just looking for numbers...go for dynojet. If you are getting tuned, go for the Mustang.

If the Mustang dyno is calibrated correctly it is far better to use to tune with because it simulates a truer load on the engine.

If you are getting dyno tuned, I'd opt for the Mustang Dyno. If you are just loading a mailorder tune on to get some numbers, it really doesn't matter.

And as stated already, dyno numbers are only a small part of the equation.
