Dyno-related insight needed...
Dyno-related insight needed... I'm looking for feedback from people that have actually spent a good deal of time tuning various hp level vehicles on a variety of dynamometers.
I've been doing the typical internet "scouring" for user reviews on various configurations and manufacturers, and have decided that I'll be purchasing an Eddy-equipped unit. The biggest concern right now, is whether or not I can get away with a "quad roller" design...or if I should just pony up the $$$ (and deal with the space-related hassles) for a larger (ie: 30" roller) unit.
Admittedly, I don't anticipate that I'll be seeing very many 1k+ rwhp vehicles in this area...and if I do, I'll have access to a local 48" roller AWD Dynojet unit. I suspect that the average will probably be more in the 500-700 rwhp area.
Use of existing shop space is definitely a concern, so I've been leaning more towards something like a Mustang MD250 or MD500se while I expand my knowledge and slowly build my customer base.
So my question is; What type kind of traction-related and repeatability related issues are you guys experiencing with the more portable quad-roller units? Again, I'm thinking that anything above 1k rwhp will be a freak occurrence in this area (with 500-700 rwhp being somewhat common)...but it is always a possibility.
Thanks for any thoughts.

Hi, If you haven't bought one yet, I have that exact md250 for sale. I don't need 2 dynos, so I'm selling either the md250 or I have an all wheel drive dynojet kit I would get rid of as well. Having 2 are just a waste for me... So I was going to sell one of them.
jessebubb @yahoo.com if you have any questions. The md250 has metal ramps that are super heavy duty that come with it so you don't have to install it in ground.
