I believe calibration is a possible issue as to why one dyno reads high and another reads low.

Theoretically that is the way dynoes should work, it is a machine. Yes, there is going to be variation, but they should be able to keep it within +/- 1%, not the variations we see. It would help if the dyno operators and vehicle owners ran the cars in a consistent manner, same tire pressure, same wheels, coolant temp., etc to limit the reasons for the wide discrepency between dynoes.

Thanks Leo. I can see where those factors would make a difference. My question still remains though. How do our local area dynos compare to each other? Is LMR's higher than G-force's which is higher than Fastlane's? Should I just go dyno at all of them and post results or what? LOL!

Ours seems to dyno lower than others. When we first got our dyno. I had a customer who dynoed at G-Force and MTI in the same day. MTI's was much higher. I belive like 14 RWHP on a cam only f-body. (385 rwhp g-force and 399 rwhp mti)
Dyno numbers dont mean squat. Its a tool for tuning. Take it to the track.

This is what I cant seem to understand... Yundastan?
And since dyno numbers "don't mean squat",...why do you guys have "Dyno Days"?

I guess I'll stop giving you guys something to think about and just say what my car dynoed at a local Houston area dyno last week. I know now that my number won't mean anything since it seems to be just a "reference only" number as you guys have described the whole dyno experiance.
I'll start another post for that...
