My Engine Tuner Says His Dyno Is Accurate. Is This True?
Every Dyno (Dynamometer) is slightly different. Different construction methods, running conditions, etc.. alter the characteristics of a dyno. What a well constructed and maintained dyno offers is repeatable results relative to all the others it has produced. So, for example, if a Dyno A gave a 2% reading difference from Dyno B, its results would still tell you that an engine gave 10% more power in its modified state than in its unmodified state.
